Rafael Nadal was in Paris for the inauguration of Tennis Point in Paris . The new boutique is located at 17 avenue des Ternes. Padel Magazine was able to ask the world tennis star a question about padel.
Rafa Nadal: “To be honest, at padel I am neither good nor bad. I am not a player. It is true that we have a padel court in my academy in Mallorca.”
“I don’t know what the future holds. I’m going to continue with my tennis career. I like sports in general. I play golf. I think I’ll pick up a padel racket, why not? I’m sure that in the future I’ll have more time to enjoy other sports. Padel is growing and I think it will be nice because it’s easier to play.”
To see Rafa's response in picture, you can go to minute 3 of the video below.

From his names, we can guess his Spanish and Italian origins. Lorenzo is a multilingual passionate about sports: journalism by vocation and events by worship are his two legs. He is the international gentleman of Padel Magazine. You will often see him at various international competitions, but also at major French events. @eyeofpadel on Instagram to see his best padel photos!
