Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are applying for a Wild Card to participate in the Paris Premier Padel Major, the second Grand Slam of the new official FIP circuit, which will take place at Roland Garros from July 11 to 17.
Admit that if that were the case, it would be extraordinary for our sport! But we are a little teasing at the beginning of April…
And after the announcement of Premier Padel and the French Tennis Federation this weekend concerning the realization of this Major at the Roland Garros Stadium next July, we were “almost” obliged to give you an April Fool’s joke on this theme .
But who it is, what is today an April fool’s joke could perhaps one day become reality. We remember Ivan Ljubicic, Roger Federer’s coach, who spoke to us about padel and the Swiss’s interest in this sport.
During the inauguration of the first Tennis Point store in Paris, the Spanish champion had also mentioned this booming sport, even if he remains fully focused on tennis at the moment.
Padel at Roland-Garros was already a reality thanks to the initiative of the French Tennis Federation. From now on, the Roland Garros Stadium will welcome the best players in the world who will travel to Paris for this great padel tournament of the Premier Padel circuit.
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 by covering major French padel events.
