"Disappointments, betrayals and lies“. According to Fabrice Pastor. The strong words of the founder of Monte Carlo International Sports still resonate in the microcosm of padel. do not want to have "activities related to padel”After in particular his disillusion in the episode International Padel Tower / World Padel Tour.

What a pity ! such a waste !

What a shame that the World Padel Tour and Monte Carlo International Sports could not find a common ground for them, but also for the padel. We lose an enthusiast, it's obvious, we also lose, someone who had financial strength and a very international vision.

The combination of these two superb structures could have been wonderful for everyone. Instead, we had the right to a real war between these two heavyweights of the padel World.

Obviously, the big losers are the enthusiasts. Of course, we leave with the World Padel Tour, a structure that we already know and that will certainly develop, surfing in particular on the global wave that the padel. But one can't help but think that the WPT and MCIS together would have been great in energizing and accelerating the development of the sport.

All professional players can thank International Padel Tower for having managed to move their lines. Let us not forget that. Many can thank MCIS for the help it has been able to provide over the past 4 years.

Christian Collange, the former partner of Fabrice Pastor at Tennis Padel Soleil regrets the situation:

What a pity that there was no arrangement between the World Padel Tour and the Monte Carlo International Sports. We lose an opportunity to do something good for the padel. No one is a winner in this case.


Why is this a loss for the padel  ?

Beyond the wars that there could be behind the scenes, Fabrice Pastor was at the origin of the emergence of many players of padel, thanks in particular to the Fabrice Pastor Cup, the Latin American circuit which allowed some players to show off despite limited financial resources.

Franco Stupaczuk, Federico Chingotto, Juan Tello, Lucas Campagnolo, Lucas Bergamini, Martin Di Nenno, Javier Valdes are all players who may not be on the front of the stage as is the case today.

Yes, it lacks ladies, and it is true that he focused his development policy rather by the gentlemen. But can we blame him?

All the institutions of the padel favor the padel gentlemen for the moment because factually, it is mainly the showcase of the padel for now, even if the padel female professional is developing.

Told us speakers from World Padel Tour few months ago. Let’s not throw stones at an obvious fact that the two circuits shared.

Monte Carlo Padel Master was also an incredible ordeal. For 2 years, Fabrice Pastor offered a unique Master in the landscape of padel. Yes, it was luxurious. Yes, there were few people. But yes also, it was a flamboyant stage that stood out among the other competitions.

For the sake of padel, we want to believe that it is not over and that there is still room for negotiation with the World Padel Tour. Unfortunately, this is certainly illusory.
