When asked about the Nike models he currently wears on the track, the Argentinian replied humorously:
"I have a contract until 2060 with Siux“No, that’s false, I don’t have a contract with Nike!”
A joke that quickly drew reactions from the room before he clarified his situation.
"I don't have any agreements at the moment. Like the new shoes." Siux "They haven't been released yet, so I'm using these. I just change the color to match my outfit."

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 !
