Le Padel is a hybrid sport between the  tennis  and the  squash , which originated as a variation of tennis in Mexico. Here is a list of the best  tennis players  who have already tried padel!

Thomas Johansson

The current director general of the APT Padel Tour was a Swedish professional tennis player, who won  the Australian Open in 2002  and reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2005. At the Olympic Games, he won the silver medal in Beijing 2008. He is currently in charge of the organization of the APT Padel Tour  and, from time to time, we treats his class on the padel courts.

Rafael Nadal

One of the best tennis players in history is also a padel enthusiast.  The lord and master of Roland Garros , 13 times champion of the tournament, enjoys padel with his friends. The Olympic champion is interested in the discipline of padel, in his club in the city of Madrid, which has  12 short. 
A little video to make us dream with Rafa's left hand and a padel racket.

Juan Carlos Ferrero

The Spanish tennis player can proudly say that he was world number one in the APT ranking. The winner of Roland Garros 2003 is a padel lover. Moreover, in an interview in 2013 he admitted: "  I like Padel  and the values ​​it communicates ... unlike Tennis, the Padel is played in pairs and  if you don't trust your partner, you can't win  ". Today he is a real addict of this sport!

Novak Djokovic


Almost six years ago, Novak Djokovic was first seen playing padel in Spain. Present at a tournament of the  World Padel Tour , the Serbian gave a little demonstration during which he showed this superb footwork that makes him  number one in the ATP ranking  (he still has a bit of work to do to develop a real “padel technique”!)

Gael Monfils

Who does not remember Gaël Monfils in Lyon with Robin Haziza ? The Frenchman had shown excellent skills with the pala in hand. As a little anecdote, he had even preferred padel to the Davis Cup, which shows the pleasure that this sport arouses in the current 20th player in the ATP!

 

There are so many tennis champions who enjoy themselves on the padel courts that we could not name them all. The Spanish Alex Corretja, Carlos Moya, David Ferrer et Sergi bruguera have already made us appreciate their technical palette. David Nalbandian and José Acasuso are sure values ​​in Argentina, just like the Rochus brothers in Belgium. Recently, Marat Safin et Alexander Zverev were seen with the APT in Monaco. David Goffin et Andy Murray have decided to bet on padel and its exponential growth!

Santiago plazas

Colombians love padel! So yes, we are not the best, but the main thing is to participate. As you can see, I am the guy from Bogota and I intend to leave my mark on padel with Padel Magazine.
