The French Tennis Federation adds the nationalities of the players to the ranking padel. This is the big news between April and May 2019. Conclusion, we realize that if obviously, the majority of players are French, many foreign players are also licensed.
For example, Spain and Belgium have more than 50 licensees padel in France, which is not illogical.
But we also observe that there are licensees padel from all over the world in America, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and of course all of Europe.

Gilles Fiolet discovered the padel 5 years ago in the Hauts de France and has been passionate about this sport since then, which he practices on the fields and in front of the streams. Consultant in the world of Data, he combines and has fun with his 2 passions to analyze the performance of padel in France, leagues and players. He does not despair of seeing his name appear one day in the best progressions of the year… Veteran category.
Yes and so? There is only one real organization and that is the WPT! Figures which are beautiful to see but which mean nothing. If I had the choice I would go to the WPT. Already the FFT is the tennis fed and not the padel. It should be called FFPT logically.
