Since Thursday, Dubai has started to welcome all the players who will participate in the 2022 World Cup. padel. And our French are already in commando operation.

The players therefore trained and were able to take the pulse on the grounds, which were largely already operational, before the start of hostilities next Monday.

The scenic pitches resemble those of last year, installed for the World Cup in Qatar. On the other hand, the climatic conditions will be warmer: indeed it is expected that the daytime temperature will reach 30 degrees. In the evening, we will be around 24 degrees.

Players are used to playing in Spain in similar temperatures if not more when summer approaches. But inevitably, compared to the conditions offered on the professional circuits currently, that will change.

Attackers, who like to take advantage of the heat to gain efficiency at the smash should in any case be delighted. In general, we can say that for players, the conditions offered are exceptional. The nations are going to be pampered for a week.

The players' hotel is luxurious and, icing on the cake, it is on the site which hosts the worlds. So no excuses for arriving late to games for players!

Dubai announced the color: will the World Cup be the most beautiful ? We will report at the end of the tournament.

Our French will have the opportunity to train this Friday from 10 a.m. to 16 p.m.
