For the first time in its history, the World Padel Tour settled all week in the Netherlands, determined to make the local public crazy about the little yellow ball and the blue rectangle. And the least we can say is that the reception was more than positive because aficionados came in droves to admire the cream of the padel World.

As has been the case elsewhere, it's not uncommon to see local celebrities hitting the ball and stealing the show from our favorite players. Remember, in Miami at the beginning of the year we attended a wave of stars like Ludacris, Gianluca Vacchi, Rick Ross or even Wyclef.

This week, it was the turn of the two former glories of Dutch football to join this great celebration. For the occasion, Robin Van Persie et Arjen Robben came to test their hand pala dexterity with the world number 1.

We were able to witness a great opposition between Alejandro Galan – Arjen Robben and Juan Lebron – Robin Van Persie. We let you enjoy it below in iimages.
