La Verdadera Guerra del Padel + Los Secretos del Palmera Open

Lala's gone on vacation, but the drama in the studio is just getting started! In this episode of the Padel Popi Podcast, Emil takes the reins and brings in two heavyweights of the community: Amed Herrera (Founder of La Academia) and José Cortina (Founder of the Palmera Open). We delve into what no one wants to talk about on camera: absurd budgets exceeding $10,000 per team, players demanding eliminations in the first round, the drama surrounding player transfers (what happened to Willito?), and the real feud between the Catimba and Tunda leagues. Plus, we have an uncensored debate on the Dominican Padel Federation's new and controversial rule: Is it fair to separate foreign professionals? Opinions are divided, and the cards are on the table.
