The latter, player of Tarbes (Hautes-Pyrénées), continues to climb in the rankings. The two men, members of The team Bandeja, know each other well and could well create a surprise in the heights of the Basque Country.

Passionate about soccer and tennis since I was a kid, I've been playing ping-pong for three years at a club in Nantes. More recently, I discovered padel and what a blast! Basketball, rugby, golf, and motorsports: yet more new sports that I regularly follow. On the cultural side, since I love giving my opinion, I write film and video game reviews.
