This is the recipe to further improve the Roman major: “Approach fans and the curious to the great champions of the Padel, still very accessible, and we are doing this -says Carraro, underlining the initiative of the four fields divided between the workouts of the champions and the simple Amateurs -. Then Rome will grow again when there are Italian top couples “. How much will it take?” Within four years Italy will take away great satisfaction both in the male and in the female -the “prophecy” of President FIP -. We have promising young people and the Italian Federation accompanies them with concrete projects “. Finally, the Olympics dream:” Today we have all the requirements to be Olympic sport, but we must be very respectful of the work of the IOC, which does not only look at the characteristics on paper. I believe that working like this, with events that improve day after day, is the best viaticum to become a five -circle sport. The name is evolving and knows that it is a good opportunity to let the Padel enter because it is a sport already transmitted in 242 countries “.
