At the microphone of Mario Cordero, the 100% female team of the tournament, made up of Charlotte Gabas and Margot Laffite, reviewed their performance during this Thursday's event at the 4Padel of Montreuil.

"It was hard because we hadn't played much padel so tennis reflexes were hard to erase and I think we suffered a bit from that” said the ex-racing driver Margot Laffite.

Charlotte Gabas she also confided to us the difficulties she encounters with the glass from the baseline: “As soon as the ball gets close to the glass, my brain goes crazy. It was super nice because I love to play padel although I haven't had the opportunity to do so much. But it must be said that I consume a lot of it on television! My strategy was more that of pro players like lobbing but as soon as you are on the pitch you realize that it is easier on TV. Even if we didn't win any matches, we really enjoyed ourselves. We still scored a few points, and I even made a par 3!”

Margot Laffite "I only played once with friends but we played tennis. It's an initiation for me today but as Charlotte said, it makes you want to get started. Besides, I would like to go play again now but we have no more matches (laughs)”.

Charlotte Gabas : “Yes we were supposed to play against Cyril Hanouna but apparently he deserted, so we still have a victory, on the green carpet unfortunately but victory anyway"

“I don't play very often but I would like to practice a little more because I find this sport more fun than tennis. I play especially when I go home to my parents with my brother who is a very big fan of padel. I have more difficulty finding partners in the Paris region…”
