PeterRS2 Posted July 30 Posted July 30 I'll admit something. Until I was flipping through some channels on TV some months ago, I had never heard of the newish sport named Padel. Based on tennis and using the same scoring system but played in an enclosed court with large table tennis-like racquets, it is fast becoming popular around the world. Many major sports stars like Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray own teams. There are lots of Spanish and South Americans in the teams. Last night one caught my eye. Manu Castano is just 17 but playing in the pro-League. I am not sure why Spain is producing so many major young athletes. Prior to his wrist injury we all wowed at the achievements of 23-year old and already winner of seven majors titles, tennis player Carlos Alcaraz. Spain has just won the World Cup with its 19-year superstar Lamine Yamal in the team. Now 17-year old Manu Castano is likely to become king of the Padel courts. This video is of an interview with Castano. If you play around you can get it in English and with English sub-titles. But the primary reason for uploading it is just to show Castano. tm_nyc 1 Quote
