Last March, Yankee global companies announced the signing of a document of conditions to acquire a stake in A1 Padel. A historical milestone for paddle tennis, seeing how the second most valuable franchise on the planet (Forbes, 2023) was directly associated with a professional circuit, in this case chaired by Fabrice Pastor.
Months later, with the arrival of a professional paddle tennis tournament for the first time in New York, the owner Randy Levin (New York, 1955) wanted to provide more details about this union with A1 Padel during an improvised press conference at the New York Grandmasterattended by members of the media.
“We, the Yankees, believe in this sport, we see its potential and we believe it will be very popular in the coming years. “We can’t plan long-term growth, we have to do it step by step and make sure that fans not only play this sport but also consume it on television,” Levine explained.
We cannot plan long-term growth, we have to go step by step and ensure that fans not only practice this sport but also consume it on television.

Asked about how the idea of entering the world of padel came about, Levine was clear and pointed to the general director of the circuit: “I chose A1 Padel over other circuits because of Fabrice. He is an extraordinary person, a true enthusiast. “He has a big heart and he is the best person to carry out this ambitious project.”
The “dream” of the pastor in the Big Apple
The Monegasque businessman, also present during the conversation with Levine, was enthusiastic about having been able to develop this tournament in the most recognized city in the world, and also, with the help of a franchise that transcends beyond sports.
“Being with Randy Levine and the Yankees on a project is a dream that was difficult to imagine a while ago. It is a very important union. “We are working hard for the next few years and I can proudly say that I am a Yankee.” Pastor expressed while he proudly showed the cap with the logos of both entities.
