Women’s coach Siim Tuus was happy with their performance despite the loss. The ‘young padel nation’ are at the qualifiers for the first time in their history so it was a great chance to get valuable experience.
The match was a 6-hour marathon so required superhuman levels of physical and mental resilience!
Siim also touches on the requirements for growth in Estonia – more courts and better-structured training regimes. They players currently have full-time jobs so can’t train full time – but with many young players now taking up padel, and potential sponsors starting to look seriously at the sport, that is all set to change.
