Padel is coming to where you least expect it... to the cinema! “You haven’t changed.”, the new film from Jérôme Commandeur with Laurent Lafitte et François Damiens, we find the latter… racket in hand, on a padel court. And not just as an extra: François Damiens seems to be playing the role of a coach. Suffice to say that with his inimitable style, we can already imagine cult scenes.

And it's not just in France: on September 19, Amazon Prime the comedy is released in Spain “El pádel es nuestro”The story? Max and Pablito, two friends completely addicted to padel, to the point of neglecting their families... until their wives also get caught up in the madness. Result: a men-women battle which is played… on a padel court.

Between a François Damiens, an unlikely coach on the big screen and a comedy made in Amazon In Spain, one thing is certain: padel is no longer just on the courts, it is now invited cinemaAnd that is perhaps his greatest cultural smash.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
