This week, the French delegation is reduced on the FIP Tour, logical consequence of the Bordeaux Premier Padel P2 which mobilizes a large part of the French forces. Between the main draw, qualifications, or simply being in the stands to support their friends, many are those who have chosen to stay in France. Especially since the FIP Silver Set Padel Narbonne looming next week: a big home event with massive French participation.

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 !
