We sit down with Nathan Young, who’s about to attempt a Guinness World Record — playing 41 hours of continuous padel to raise awareness and funds for the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT). Nathan shares his incredible story, from growing up with partial sight to finding purpose through padel and preparing for this record-breaking challenge.

Then, we break down all the action from the FIP World Cup Pairs — including Coello & Tapia’s shock loss, Chingotto & Galán’s rise, and Sanchez/Josemaria’s dominant run on the women’s side.

Tune in for inspiration, drama, and pure padel passion.
