A world tour of padel clubs can sometimes provide the opportunity to discover padel courts in a surprising setting, sometimes even idyllic.

During the weekend of November 11/12, The national padel championship was held in the Philippines. We can't hide it, we don't know any of the participants, although we can only congratulate the winners of the tournament: Noschese/Lacamoire for men, Capadocia/Tan for women.

In Taguig, a city on the outskirts of Manila, the capital of the Philippines, there is a padel club hidden away in a setting that is, to say the least, sensational. In the middle of the city's skyscrapers, five padel courts blend into the decor.

If it happens in France that pitches are set up in the city center, they only ever stay for a week or a weekend. But in Manila Padel Club, it's every day of the year that padelists are surrounded by immense buildings around them.

It almost makes you want to go and test the carpet.

Gwenaelle Souyri

It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
