It is Philippe Wertz who reveals this great adventure of the former world number one and former big star of the professional circuit of padel. Not really older, because with this victory, we would like to see him more often on the World Padel Tour.

Perino / Gattiker will play his next match against second pair Paquito Navarro / Juan Lebron this afternoon at 15h30. On paper, it seems impossible for the Argentine pair, but with the Argentinian audience behind ...
