A competition of padel in Paris ? It will be very soon. the FFT PADEL TOUR could offer a Masters in 2019 to be played on the Parvis of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

Hubert Picquier, the elected official in charge of development and competition in France, who comes back to this point by explaining that the Master FFT PADEL TOUR will be like “our little Roland Garros from padel".

"FFT PADEL TOUR, the national circuit of padel"

The French Tennis Federation sets up its circuit: the FFT PADEL TOUR.

It will be a competition that will go through big cities and that will consist of 5 steps in 2019, 7 steps in 2020 and 9 in 12 steps in 2021.

And an annual master will be our little Roland Garros from padel.

From 2019, the competition is set up.

"A Master on the Parvis of Notre-Dame"

We are going to decentralize part of the Master's FFT PADEL TOUR towards the Parvis of Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral.

The semi-finals and finals could be held on the forecourt with 2 at 3 thousand people.

We will do animation and development. Because the padel does not have the same history as tennis in France.

We must not dissociate the development of the competition.

Both must be together.
