“10 years ago, only the top 10 could live off padel”: this strong statement of meaning does not come from anyone other than the world number 1 Alejandro galan. If this statement is so “strong”, it is quite simply that it is a reality.

Le padel has indeed changed in dimension over the past 10 years. Brands, investors and players are now well aware of the potential of this sport. The latter are also part of the dynamism of this discipline which makes it one of the fashionable sports of the moment. Asked by the Argentinian media “Clarin“, Ale Galan said about it:

“A few years ago, only the top ten in the ranking lived on padel. Now this sport is growing and fortunately the younger generation can see it as an option in the future. We encourage them to play hard and train hard to achieve this.”

A message therefore akin to an awareness on the part of the current world number 1, but which also sounds like a call from the foot to young talents reluctant to devote themselves entirely to the padel, with a watchword behind it all: Get started!

Passionate about football, I discovered the padel in 2019. Since then, it's been crazy love with this sport to the point of abandoning my favorite sport.
