A 22-year-old Keio University student who just celebrated his birthday a few days before the interview. The memorable first Japanese interview took place in Madrid, Spain, the mecca of padel.
Padel (also known as padel tennis) is said to be a racket sport that is a combination of tennis and squash.The court is smaller than that of tennis, so players of all ages can enjoy it together, and it is similar to other sports. In comparison, it is said that it is attractive because the pace at which you can learn is fast.
This time, we interviewed Eduardo, who came to Japan to play padel at one of the earliest stages of Japanese padel, to share his padel story.
Born on November25, 1992. Born in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. At the age of 25, he started playing paddle at Keio University and has represented Japan in the PADEL World Championships twice (2018 and 2021). He is also passionate about promoting PADEL, which is still under-recognized in Japan.
