Earlier this week, the French men's team attracted criticism with a controversial celebration after his victory against Uruguay. A choreography mimicking a bicycle after the victory in the decisive match of the Blues where the players had scored 6/0 6/0 in the second and third sets.

Obviously, this did not go down well with the padel world, who described the French team as “rude”.

Yesterday, Italy wanted to act as a justice-giver by taunting Pablo Ayma's men, against whom she won in the quarter-finals, 2/0. The transalpine neighbors mimed a rooster (or a chicken, who knows) to make fun of the French players in turn. The worst part of the story? Everyone “congratulates” Italy for putting the French team “in its place”.

Even more surprisingly, the pages of the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation and the International Tennis Federation Padel have published and shared this famous video controversial. For the Italian Federation, it is part of the game, we understand the bias. For the FIP, it is much more astonishing. But it is likely that she did not realize, at the time, the real meaning of the Italian “dance”.

There are two ways to take it, obviously: either first degree, either at second degree, in mode chambering between two nations that have been fighting for so many years international championships.

It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
