Francisco Manuel Gil, nicknamed Xisco Gil, 53rd player in the world, begins a new stage in his career in 2025. After playing alongside Ramiro Moyano, then more recently with Juanlu Esbri, the Spanish player has decided to join forces with Victor Ruiz, currently ranked 34th in the world.
For Xisco Gil, this association seems to be an interesting opportunity. Victor Ruiz, originally from Cartagena, ends its partnership with Javier Ruiz, a collaboration that was short-lived.
Together, Gil and Ruiz will attempt a reconquest operation after a 2024 marked by mixed results. This new duo could well surprise on the slopes and aims to quickly return to the top of the world rankings.
Franck Binisti discovered padel at the Club des Pyramides in 2009 in the Paris region. Since then, padel has been part of his life. You often see him touring France to cover major French padel events.
