After their impressive victory in the round of 16 against  Juan Tello / Maxi Arce  (7/5 6/1),  Jon sanz  et  Coki Nieto  They generated as much buzz on the track as they did at the press conference.

Speaking to the media, the Spanish player wanted to send a clear message to the circuit regarding the conditions imposed on videographers, content creators and members of media teams who accompany the players throughout the season.

 “They come to work” 

In a sequence relayed by Padel ReviewJon Sanz denounced the restrictions imposed by the circuit on external audiovisual teams:

“I want to make a plea to the circuit. I would like the work of our teams to be valued more, because obstacles are put in their way. In the end, they come to work and we make a huge effort to bring them with us.”

The Pamplona player also emphasized the sacrifices made by these teams who follow the players all over the world:

“They too are separating from their families and loved ones to be on the other side of the world. I would like them to think about that.”

 Growing frustration among the players 

For several months, the creation of content around the  Premier Padel  is taking an increasingly important place in players' communication. Vlogs, behind the scenes, training sessions, life at tournaments... the formats are multiplying on YouTube and social networks.

However, several players seem frustrated by certain limitations imposed on external teams in tournaments, particularly regarding access, filming permissions, or accessible areas.

Jon Sanz concluded with a rather direct statement:

“For us, it’s really frustrating to make so much effort to bring them here, and then have so many limitations imposed on them.”

 Towards a relaxation of the circuit? 

It remains to be seen whether this statement will provoke a reaction from the circuit in the upcoming tournaments.

This topic is becoming increasingly important in professional padel, where player image and content production play a major role in the sport's popularity. Several stars on the circuit are now heavily investing in their media teams to increase their visibility and strengthen their connection with fans.

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 !
