Le padel-armchair will have its big international event. This will take place at Le Mans on August 27 and 28. Padel Magazine meets Iñaki Ramperez, one of the best Spanish players.

For the love of sports

"I have been practicing for more than 10 years. padel-armchair. At first it was just a hobby, but little by little I started competing on the circuit all over Spain and taking it all more seriously."

"I also organized three editions of the National Open of padel wheelchair in Boadilla del Monte (Madrid), I have collaborated with the Madrid Federation and the Spanish Federation in different events and tournaments, and from the shadows I have worked so that the padel in wheelchairs continues to grow, first in Spain and now internationally."

“With my partner we are currently the number 4 pair, and we have established ourselves as one of the strongest duos in the tournament. We still have a long way to go to reach those at the top, but with perseverance and hard work, we hope to shorten that distance.”

The most active pair

"With Marcos Cambronero, we worked very hard for two years to be able to reach such a level. This season we have played the final in Bilbao and we have reached the semi-finals of almost every tournament on the 2022 calendar."

"We were the only pair to play all the tournaments on the calendar, including the regional championships, and finally the Spanish championship (17 tournaments in total). Lots of hard work, miles and commitment were key."

“Also this year I have been champion of Madrid and Spain with the Madrid team as a player and coach for the second year in a row."

Kuikma and the desire to grow the sport

“Two years ago I had the chance to meet Horacio Alvarez Clementi and I got to know the team Kuikma. Since then, I knew that, both because of the importance of the company and the professionalism of the brand members, it would be a great opportunity to be part of the team.

"At the time, many colleagues did not understand my decision, but time proved me right. Today is the mark of padel that has experienced the greatest growth worldwide and, without a doubt, it is the brand that bets the most on the padel in a wheelchair."

"Without their support, this event would not have the impact it will have, and as a member of the Kuikma team, I am proud to participate in the first international meeting in France. There is a great desire to measure up to the French, Dutch and Belgian players at Le Mans and to take advantage of this pioneering experience in the history of the padel in a wheelchair.”
