See you from August 29 to September 1, 2023 at Casa Padel for the international tournament padel-armchair whose sponsors are Mélissa Martin and Cyril Hanouna.
On Tuesday August 29, the organizers will propose a mixed exhibition with an able-bodied player and a wheelchair player.
And it may well be that Mélissa Martin and Cyril Hanouna also play in a wheelchair!
As the player of the France team explains, the midfielder padel-armchair is something she already knows well: “When I trained with Michael Jeremiasz in Mouratoglou, we had the same physical trainer. I sometimes saw him training, I was captivated. We don't realize how physical it is to master the chair and the racquet. It's a big job, I would like people to realize the prowess of these wheelchair athletes.
For the little anecdote, I had already tried wheelchair tennis at Roland Garros, my arms still remember it (laughs)!
