It's at the microphone of Padel Magazine that Paquito Navarro confided in his participation in one of the most anticipated tournaments of the season, the Greenweez Paris Premier Padel Major.

But before getting to the heart of the matter, it's a tradition now, players who pass behind our camera must pass the very famous and dreaded French test. They have 10 seconds to give us as many words as possible in the language of Molière.

The Sevillian did not fail in this surprise interrogation and it would seem that he too revised the bases before coming to Paris

“A pride to play here”

"It's a pride to play here, I think we're all still hallucinating to be in this stadium and I hope it won't be the last year that we come here. I already knew Paris and with Rome these are the two European capitals that I like the most. Yesterday we went to train next to the Eiffel Tower and in the evening we went to dinner on the Champs-Elysées. I love paris ! "

"We have done Doha, Rome, and now Roland-Garros. They don't get used to us because after that I don't know what they're going to get out of us (laughs). We must take advantage."

"The padel must have big ambitions”

"I wouldn't say the level of quality drops with the World Padel Tour, but we go to different places. I think the padel must have big ambitions and not rely solely on a circuit. I'm going to speak to you as a Spaniard, if all these events were held in Spain I would be very happy, but if we want this sport to become global, we have to go and play in the biggest world capitals."

"We are preparing a lot for these tests of Premier Padel because we love being in these beautiful places so much that we want to stay until Sunday. Especially since they treat us super well so we definitely want to stay as long as possible."

"Regarding the absence of Sanyo and Agus, it is clear that I would like them to be present too. But now why they don't come is none of my business. It's really a shame that we're not all here."

“We keep our spirits up and we give everything!”

"The Mondial reminds me of very good memories, so very delighted to return."

Asked about the intense rhythm of this season, Paquito Navarro confided in his state of form.

"Physically it's very hard because we have tournaments practically every week but for the moment everything is fine, knock on wood I'm not injured. We knew these two years were going to be tough both physically and mentally. We keep our spirits up, we are positive and we give everything! "
