We frequently associate the padel with tennis. In emerging countries in this area, we realize that, often, the first to practice padel are tennis players. Could it be the retraining of professional tennis players?

Maybe the padel has not yet looked back or experience to ensure the retraining of professional tennis players. However, we see the current players of the ATP ranking coming to test here and there the tracks, the palas and these bounces on the windows so annoying.

This is the case of Rafa Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Benoit Paire, Gaël Monfils and many others. These players are still active on the ATP Tour, but there are also retired tennis players who are taking to the padel. This is the case with Alex Corretja.

This Spanish player has been one of the best tennis players in the world and has won several major tournaments. Coach of the Spanish Davis Cup team, he is now a consultant and media speaker.

His speech is very interesting:

“Since I retired from tennis, I don't play tennis anymore. padel than tennis. The reason is simple: in tennis, my level worsens compared to what I had before, whereas in padel I feel like I still have room for maneuver and progress. ”

This may also be the future of padel. Recover the former professional tennis players, who will bring their experiences, their professional routines, and their desire to progress in a sport related to tennis.

Le padel continues to attract followers from the 4 corners of the planet and from different horizons each time. This is what makes it so rich.
