Best known for creating light-hearted padel content, Serge has built a following by helping players laugh at the game while sharing the ups and downs of his own journey on court. His aim is simple: make people smile, while occasionally making them think, “he’s actually not bad.”

Before padel, Serge played semi-professional football and having never played a racket sport before, he relies on anticipation, movement and defensive resilience to stay competitive.

Still chasing his first tournament title after five runner-up finishes, Serge is focused on developing the attacking side of his game. He plays with a BAS3LINE JUNO, loving its manoeuvrability — “it makes me feel like a Jedi with a light sabre.” In his own words, he’s nowhere near the finished article.
