Few people have heard of this player: Adam Axelsson, 19 years old, ranked 208th in the world, born in Smalandsstenar in Sweden… and probably the tallest player on the circuit. Standing at two meters tall, the Swedish giant impressed at the Mexico Major, accompanied by another Swede: Simon vasquez.

The Swedish pair, who came through qualifying, advanced to the second round of the Mexico Major against Paquito Navarro et paul cardona, where they were not far from creating the surprise of the day. The Swedes lost after 2 hours and 52 minutes of play: 7/6(10) 6/7(3) 6/3. A meeting that sparked heated controversy...

In this match, Adam Axelsson proved that, despite his two meters, he knew how to move very well on the field… and make strokes of genius. This is like this point where he manages to catch a smash in extremis by Paquito Navarro, before concluding on a reflex blow to the back.

The point in pictures:

This is the first time this year that Adam Axelsson has participated in a tournament. Premier Padel. Besides, he only participated in 14 FIP tournaments this year, with a victory at the FIP Rise Cordenons. Without a doubt, with his performance against the world's fifth pair, the Swede will have managed to get noticed at the Mexico Major!

It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
