Le  Big Padel Bordeaux   has never hidden its ambition to attract big names to its tournaments. But for its next  P1000 The Bordeaux club seems to have decided to take things to the next level… with a rather unexpected announcement: the announced participation of the tennis player  Stefanos Tsitsipas associated for the occasion with  Antoine Couvercelle , co-manager of the club.

 Stefanos Tsitsipas , old  No. 3 worldwide , winner of  2019 Masters  and finalist of  Roland Garros 2021  as well as the Australian Open 2023 He remains one of the most talented players of his generation. But in recent months, the Greek has been going through a more inconsistent period on the ATP circuit, alternating between solid performances and more difficult stretches.

What if this was a quick career change to padel? That was all it took to fuel the imagination.

And it must be acknowledged that Tsitsipas' playing style — ball touch, variation, quality at the net — could theoretically adapt perfectly to a court.

As for his partner,  Antoine Couvercelle , well known in the Bordeaux scene, he could hardly dream of better exposure for his club.

The side of  Big Padel Bordeaux  The event is very real: the  P1000  promises to be challenging, in line with the competitions organized in recent seasons.

For interested players, the  Registrations remain open It is still possible to join the table by contacting the club directly.

One thing is for sure: with or without Tsitsipas, the show should be there.
