As soon as the King of Spain, Philip VI, makes an appearance, all eyes inevitably fall on his left hand, which is enclosed in an imposing splint. The Spanish sovereign has been sporting this immobilized hand during his public outings for several weeks, giving rise to much speculation about the cause of this injury. But, in reality, the answer is quite simple: King Felipe VI was betrayed by his passion for padel.

It is common knowledge that the King of Spain is an avid fan of this sport. He plays it diligently and never hesitates to congratulate the national team for his exploits.

It was on a quiet Sunday, October 8, when the incident occurred. Taking advantage of a relaxing day, the king had organized a game of padel with his relatives on the court he owns in the Zarzuela Palace. Unfortunately, during this game, he tripped and fell, instinctively trying to cushion his fall with his left hand, causing the injury.

Rumors quickly began to circulate, with some even suggesting possible surgery. Casa Real was quick to put an end to the speculation, insisting that doctors were banking on a natural cure. Further examinations revealed that, in addition to tendinitis, the king suffered from a slight crack in his scaphoid, an injury that requires a long period of immobilization to heal.

But rest assured, the King of Spain is in good health. Although he must temporarily put his passion for padel on hold, he should soon return to the courts and reconnect with this sport that he loves so much.

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.
