Jerome Rothen  is now a big fan of  paddle . On the ephemeral short of  Roland Garros , the former footballer of  Paris Saint-Germain , showed his qualities and answered the questions of Padel Magazine.

A day at Roland

"Results of  Roland Garros  : a victory, a defeat. I was well helped by my teammate in the first game ( Adrien Maigret ). I played the second game with  Arnaud Di Pasquale , but I found it a bit slow on some downs (laughs). We will say that the defeat is a bit for him! ”

“It’s a treat to play in front of the central court. The weather is ideal. There are great padel players. To discover this sport it’s fantastic.”

“In the Paris region, there are not courts everywhere”

“Padel in France is in a  good development . We always hope that things will go a little faster, especially in the creation of fields. Here in  Ile-de-France , it is true that there are not necessarily everywhere, and it is necessary to make a little road. We therefore hope to be able to develop this sport more quickly, because it is a very nice exchange with 4 players, with a communion. ”

“I find that compared to tennis where there are caps to go, when you play against good players, there is no picture. Here, it levels the values. I find it a very enjoyable sport. ”

After the football career, padel!

“I hope I will be in the tournaments soon. I  have been playing tennis tournaments for 4 years . I took it to heart. We are always looking for adrenaline and competition. Even at the amateur level we get to feel a lot. ”

"The  padel tournaments  when it grows even more,  I will do them without a doubt . I hope to win some very quickly. ”
