Babolat: official partner of Juan Carlos Ferrero and his academy, for tennis and padel

Juan Carlos Ferrero officially joins the Babolat family! The coach of Carlos Alcaraz will now be equipped with Babolat racquets and strings. The partnership also covers his academy: Babolat becomes the official partner of the academy for tennis (racquets, strings, bags) but also the exclusive partner for padel (racquets, strings, bags, shoes, and apparel).

The Academy, located in Villena, Spain, was founded in 1990 by Antonio Martinez Cascales. It spans 120,000 m², has 26 tennis courts and 8 padel courts, and welcomes professional players as well as future champions throughout the year.

Éric Babolat, President of the eponymous brand, adds: "This partnership naturally follows the continuity of the links we already have with Juan Carlos Ferrero through one of our players, Carlos Alcaraz. We are happy to welcome him to the Babolat family, as well as his academy for tennis and padel."

Juan Carlos Ferrero expresses: "It is a source of pride for the Academy, now capable of hosting 80 players year-round, to partner with such a prestigious and recognized brand. Babolat is celebrating its 150th anniversary; its experience is immense. It is a brand we can trust. This partnership was therefore an easy and natural choice for us."

Finally, it is a sincere pleasure shared by Jean-Christophe Verborg, Director of Sports Marketing at Babolat: "Beyond consolidating the links with Carlos Alcaraz's team, which was a coherent approach, Babolat wishes to write a beautiful story in Spain with Juan Carlos Ferrero, who becomes our ambassador. Babolat will also be very involved in the Academy's Pro Shop, which will be expanded and modernized."
