And one person who knows that’s true is Jamie Murray. While he’s made his name internationally with his tennis career, including playing mixed doubles alongside Guernsey’s very own Heather Watson, he’s no stranger to padel. Jamie said: ‘I’ve played padel a handful of times. It’s a very social sport. I can play it with my friends. We can get some good games going, some amazing rallies. I would like to play more. It’s a lot of fun and it’s very competitive as well.’ That mix of fun and competition is now being experienced in Guernsey after three brand new courts were opened at the Guernsey Tennis Club site at Longcamps. They offer single, family and corporate memberships as well as ‘pay and play’ options for those who want to get a taster and see if padel is for them. The British Padel Tour included Guernsey for the first time in 2018, with a two-day tournament hot on the heels of other events in Essex, Scotland and London. British stars of the sport Javier Serrats and Jon Leach lived up to their reputations as padel powerhouses, cruising to a 6-0 6-1 victory over local players Jon Young and Rob West. Rob said: ‘These guys are another level. It’s been really enjoyable to play against them and hopefully they’ll be back to play again next year. Everyone who comes down and plays it loves it, so our goal is to get more people down to try it.’ While so many sports are focused on solely the wins, padel’s place in the Guernsey sporting community is all about growing both awareness and interest in it. A top French coach visited the island in the autumn to help players of all abilities brush up their skills. Kristina Clement is seen as one of the best of them all. British Padel veteran Barry Coffey said: ‘Kristina has coached me from complete novice to tournament winner in a relatively short time. She is enjoyable to work with and makes learning fun.’ And judging by the feedback from those who met Kristina during her coaching sessions, Barry’s far from alone in that view. So, if you’re thinking of taking up a new sport but perhaps don’t THAT MIX OF FUN AND COMPETITION IS NOW BEING EXPERIENCED IN GUERNSEY AFTER THREE BRAND NEW COURTS WERE OPENED AT THE GUERNSEY TENNIS CLUB SITE AT LONGCAMPS know where to start, why not try something completely different? People regularly use the words ‘social’ and ‘fun’ to describe padel. The new courts at the Guernsey Tennis Club are spot on, and when you combine them with the centre’s existing facilities which include a steam room, sauna, licensed bar and café, you’ve everything you need in one place to make your first padel experience a positive one. As Jamie Murray said: ‘It’s a great sport, it’s a lot of fun, a lot of crazy rallies. It’s a good experience.’ Find out more at guernseypadelclub.gg 106 <strong>En</strong> <strong>Voyage</strong> | Aurigny’s Magazine
