Jared Palmer didn’t win RedPADEL Circuit no.2 Atlanta, but the former Wimbledon champion came close, claiming third place with partner Nalle Grinda, co-founder of Padel X.<\/p>\n
RedPADEL caught up with Palmer who spoke about the transition from a world-class tennis background to padel and how he’s progressing in the sport.<\/p>\n
Palmer shared his thoughts: “There are a lot of similarities to tennis. Obviously it’s doubles and it’s a lot of moving together as a team and trying to figure out how to close the holes in the right way and position yourselves at the net. And when I played tennis, my volley was a good shot and I feel like I’m competent in that but there’s still a lot of little things that take a while to get \u2013 when to hit it hard, when not to and when to take pace off.”<\/p>\n
“You know, within any point you might hit a ball at 15 different speeds. So there’s a lot of variety and that’s the one thing I think we all like about it. There’s a lot of different ways to win a point. And so it’s been a fun process to try and figure out and I still feel like I’m getting better like a lot of former tennis players do, so it makes it fun.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
