Australia has suffered from the flames for several months. Gigantic fires that affect the population and therefore the players of padel. We would like to have a thought for them.

Padel Magazine would like to pay homage and especially to have a thought for Australia, Australians and the fauna and flora of this immense country. This beautiful nation is part of the world of padel, which now has several dozen clubs and hundreds of players, affected by these fires.

It is not new, every year Australia knows bush fires. The fires have always been present but this time they are very violent and uncontrollable.

More than 6 million hectares have gone up in smoke, including forests of rare species and endemic fauna.

Cities are also affected, forcing residents to evacuate for lack of oxygen. Some places have not seen the sun since early December.

This disaster is so great that it can be seen from space.

We would just like to have a thought for the Australian people and for the players and clubs of padel who need help now and will certainly need it more afterwards.

Thank you to all
