The famous padel influencer, who we interviewed a few months ago, was about to travel to Chile but was denied access to the plane for a problem validating his health documents. He still offers an interview to the Chilean channel Rey Padel.

Padel > tennis

“All the new urbanizations have swimming pools and padel courts. I'm not talking about luxury residences. The pandemic has been the nitrous oxide of this sport and here it's normal…”, he says in the broadcast available on Spotify.

“The fever is such that any day from 7 to 10 at night, any court in Madrid is occupied. Municipal clubs and private courts. Padel is more popular here than tennis”, continues Manu.

An opportunity for women

Spanish also spoke about the development of women's padel:

“Women's padel has improved a lot in recent years. The quality of the matches is very good, it is very attractive. It must continue to grow, and brands must continue to bet on it.”

“If you really think about federated sports with such a high percentage of female participation, you won’t find much more than padel. There is a real niche and opportunity for women there.”
