And if the padel female was underestimated? What if we focused too much on these famous field trips after a PAR 3? Mélissa Martin, one of the best French players in padel who sets out to conquer World Padel Tour returns to this often-discussed theme.

The power is not everything even if ...

Everyone knows it, which can impress the most padel are the exits from the field made by the players. This is what brings this touch of spectacle and show to this incredible sport.

It is true that this is much more common during men's matches than on the professional circuit, the World Padel Tour or on the French circuit. This seems rather logical since the men being more powerful release more smashes by 3 giving a lot of opportunities to the players during the matches to go out.

But women in all this? Do we not hear frequentlyWomen do not need space, they do not come out anyway! So ok, we don't make 50 par 3 smashes per game. But we know how to do it!

Today in the padel the players are more and more powerful and more and more technical on the world padel tour or on the French circuit!

Le padel feminine evolves

The women's game evolves, not a tournament of the female wpt is played without seeing spectacular outings of the players. And in France the female level is also rising! The best players on the left know all out balls. And so we are also able to get out of the field.

The proof in the image last week end in the semi-finals of P2000 Aix en Provence on a smash of Laura Clergue and an exit with a counter smash winner by 3 Melissa Martin (myself :))

The only thing we miss in France is only training on our outings. Knowing that we know how to do it and how to do it would make the difference, we just have to dare and know that this is not just for guys, that we too can do the show.

The teamwork

Small important clarification it is also about a team work.

Because if one of the players must go out, his or her partner must

  1. guide to inform whether the ball is coming out well or not
  2. in case it is necessary to cover the inner part of the field near the door in case it turns out that the ball does not come out or also cover in case of fake of the opponent.

This works well on the WPT. And that is also why the player has all the confidence to go out knowing that his or her teammate covers the field.

The women have all that is needed to make beautiful outings!
