Present at Paris Major at Roland Garros, Stéphane MassotFounder All In Padel Sports in Bouc-Bel-Air near Aix-en-Provence, looks back at the evolution of padel in France, the performances of his team and its development prospects, particularly with the French Padel Club Championships looming on the horizon in 2026.

On the sidelines of the Paris Major, Stéphane Massot did not hide his emotion at the meteoric rise of padel:
"Today, having the name of the club associated with a player in one of the four biggest Majors in the world, it's exceptional. When I think back to the first pitch set up with Henri Leconte ten years ago, I could never have imagined that we would get to this point."

This recognition is therefore reflected on the field. One of the players on his team, Gonzalo Rubio, has just reached the quarter-finals from the Major in Paris two weeks ago: "An exceptional performance that makes us want to go even further. Next year, we hope that for the French Club Championships, we will win the title with an exceptional team."

The club retains its pillars: Pablo Lijó, Gonzalo Rubio and Antonio LuqueBut new avenues are being considered: "We may not stop there. We are thinking about strengthening the team further to be competitive from the start of the season."

The ambition is clear: shine in National 1 and fly the flag for All In Padel Sport.
