Only at 10 years, Louis embodies this new generation of “pure padel” who could well transform the face of French padel. Left-handed, instinctive and passionate since he was 5 years old, he is one of the jeunes French nuggets.

A destiny guided by passion

It all began almost by chance, during the inauguration of the Provence complex Padel, in Vaucluse. Louis discovered the sport that would become his passion and immediately took his first lessons with Guillaume, his original teacher.
His father remembers: "From the age of 2, he spent his days on the beaches of the Basque coast, racket in hand. His favorite word was: Dad, shall we play? ».
As luck would have it, a padel court was built in 50 meters from his house, in the village of Saint-Didier (84210), where Louis trains daily with his father.

Under the watchful eye of his parents, he progresses in an atmosphere where the pleasure of playing remains central: two individual training sessions per week, regular tournaments and a physical training Saturday mornings already punctuate his life as a little champion.

An instinctive and creative game

Already able to face adults in P100 et P250, he also rubbed shoulders with Benjamin Tison et Yannick Maurel during internships at the Academy of My Center Palavas.
The internships follow one another in France and Spain (Málaga, Figueres), always with one watchword: “have fun and progress”.

Already promising results

Since he has been able to play in official competition (September 2025), Louis has shown good results:

  • Winner in P100 at Laura Clergue's Pista Club (August 2025)
  • Two finals of P100
  • U14 Finalist in Saint-Cyr (May 2025)
  • 3th place at the U14 tournament in La Ciotat (early 2025, at only 9 years old)

His goal ? Join the French top 5000 in the next 12 months.

An ambitious young competitor

Committed to tournaments P100, P250, tournaments U14 et National Youth Tournaments (TNJ), Louis follows an athletic pace, while continuing his schooling in CM2.
Next challenge: the FIP Promises Paris WME Sports end of September, where he will play with Karl Spohn (11 years old) in the U12 and U14 categories. The goal? To compete against the best young people in the world.
In the medium term, he dreams of a selection in the French junior team, and in the long term… to become the first French world number 1.

A symbol for the “pure padel” generation

Louis is part of this new wave of players trained exclusively in padelA development that could revolutionize the French model in the medium term, by producing talents shaped from childhood for the discipline.

Pleasure above all

Behind the competitor, Louis remains above all a passionate child, smiling and motivated. His entourage ensures that this balance between performance and the pleasure of playing is preserved.
His adventure has only just begun, but already, his journey inspires and gives a glimpse a bright future for French padel.

We hope to see him shine at the FIP Promises Paris WME Sports which will be held from 30 October to 2 November 2025.

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 !
