For the promoters of Padel, which combined the best elements of tennis and squash and nicknamed as ‘tennis with walls’ and ‘squash in the Sun’, they couldn’t have found a better proposition than having former All England champion P. Gopi Chand joining the Indian Padel Federation in their promotional activities to give the sport a fresh fillip and make it more popular across the country.
Supriya Devgun, former bronze medallist at the 2017 BWF World Senior Badminton Championship, joins the Indian Padel Federation as a key Board Member.
In an exclusive chat with The Hindu, Gopi, the chief national badminton coach, said Padel offered the dynamics, picking up the best features from other sports like tennis, squash and even badminton, which should be a big hit in the days to come.
