Everyone is suddenly celebrating a trend sport called padel tennis, which is just emerging in Germany. Celebrities invest, including the national coach. What’s behind it?
National coach Hansi Flick was previously known primarily for his football skills and good leadership, but not for hard, precise shots. Lately, however, the football teacher has been cheating on him from time to time. Using a plastic racquet designed to look like a severed paddle, he smashed yellow felt balls, undercut lobs and thundered smashes across the net. May his new business model really take off.
