Jérémy Scatena will play with Willy Lahoz during the next tournaments of the World Padel Tour. At the beginning of the week, During the WPT Paris Challenger, the two players indeed announced their future association.

We announced it to you live last Monday. After the Parisian adventure at Casa Padel alongside the Argentinian Nicolas Suescun, the Frenchman returned to “a turning point padelistic" for him.

Scatena / Lahoz on the grounds of World Padel Tour, is it a daydream?

More than that even! This may be a click professional players are looking for on the World Padel Tour to pass caps. We know how tough the competition is on the WPT. And this is perhaps a unique opportunity to take this step.

For me, it's an unexpected chance to play with one of the greatest players in the history of padel global. He is an exceptional player to be around. People may not really realize who he is. Recall that he also played with Fernando Belasteguin and that he won stages of the World Padel Tour.

Bela and Lahoz: More a chance

You say he can bring you a lot ...

He can bring me a lot of things. First, an acquired experience that I do not necessarily have. Tactical aspects in the game and then obviously his game. Right, he is able to destabilize the best players in the world. We know that he has a particular game. It's never a gift to play against him. Being able to play with and train a bit with him is a boon to move forward and pass this famous course. The goal for me is obviously the top 100. But with such a teammate at his side, why not aim further?

I give myself goals, and at the same time, I do not want to settle for a goal. Go and find out what can happen ...

Maybe it's a pressure to play with such a player?

Not really. Or if so, it's positive pressure. The motivation is there. We're not going to say that it's negative to play with Willy Lahoz when others would like to be in my place. Willy Lahoz is a player on the outside and on the pitch who will give me that confidence to try to give the best on the pitch.

After, we can not anticipate what will happen. But whatever happens and whatever the results, it will be a unique experience.

Their association begins on Sunday at the Menorca Open 2019. The Lahoz / Scatena pair will start in the second round of the pre previas against a very dangerous pair: Melgratti / Frugoni.
