In Avignon this weekend, Henri Leconte had planned to come with Spanish players from Barcelona for the day.

On the side of the weather alas, it's the rain that has come to play the fuss, preventing all the matches from arguing.

Logical consequence: tournament unfortunately canceled.

It is postponed to June 3, hoping that the sun this time of the game.

Despite the bad weather, the press was present in numbers in the late morning. 3 new features:

1ère Great news: The partnership between HLP and Royal Padel creation of a line of snowshoes padel “Henri Leconte”, 100% carbon.

2th great news: The creation of a Henri Leconte clothing line Padel Tour, available from September. Tee-shirt, sweet-shirt… Henri Leconte had brought some exclusive clothes.

3th highlight: the Henri Leconte Padel Tower. Despite this false start due to the rain, the Henri Leconte Padel Tour comes back very strongly for its 2nd edition after a 1st year full of promises. 6 stages are planned, against 3 in 2016. Avignon, Ajaccio, Lyon, Manosque, Mont-de-Marsan and Reichstett are ready.

Henri Leconte will do his utmost to go on the stages and participate in this beautiful festival of padel. He will be present on Saturday April 8 in Ajaccio for the Corsican stage of the HLPT where he will inaugurate the club that same day at the end of the morning.

Big news: the HLPTour is now approved, which is very important for the players who will have points and a ranking.

Lyon, new HLPC club that will also be inaugurated (the 29 April) during its stage, hits a big blow by announcing a P100 women + a P1000 men from 28 to 30 April A tip: register quickly on Setteo.

Manosque and Mont-de-Marsan are planning a P250, while Avignon, Ajaccio and Reichstett will be organizing P100.

Henri Leconte announced the date and venue of the HLPTour final: it will be the 30 September-1 weekend in October in Mont-de-Marsan, which will therefore succeed Reichstett who organized the 1ère finale masterfully.

Long live the padel!
