A more balanced second set

The French started this second set well and led 1/0. Their coach, Pablo Ayma, gives them valuable advice, asking them to change the pace of the game and send tight lobs. The idea is to force the Argentines to take risks and create counter-attacking opportunities.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
