For those who may not be familiar with you yet, could you please introduce yourself and share a bit about who you are, both as an athlete and as a person?
My name is Mafalda Fernandes and I’m from Portugal. I'm a professional padel athlete with a passion for the sport. On the court, I'm focused, competitive, and fully committed to constant improvement. Off the court, I'm driven, grounded, and always striving for balance between my athletic career and personal life. I believe sport has the power not only to shape individuals but also to inspire and impact others in meaningful ways.


What would you say are your proudest moments or biggest achievements in your career so far?
One of the proudest moments of my career was finishing as runner-up in the National Padel Championship in Portugal. It was a rewarding experience that reflected all the hard work and dedication I had put in.

Another special moment was reaching the round of 16 at a Premier Padel tournament, it was an unforgettable feeling because I had trained so hard specifically for that opportunity. Moments like these remind me why I love this sport.

That said, I truly believe that every tournament and every match is important. Each one is a chance to learn, grow, and evolve, and I treat every experience on court as a valuable part of my journey.


What are your aspirations and goals for the future, both in your sport and beyond?
My main goal in sport is to continue growing and performing at the highest level, both nationally and internationally. I aim to keep pushing my limits and representing my country with pride. Beyond the court, I want to use my journey to contribute to the sport’s development, through community projects, clinics, or initiatives that increase access to padel and help it reach new audiences.

What drew you to our brand specifically, and how do you see it aligning with your personal values and goals?
What drew me to your brand is your clear commitment to excellence and authenticity. I see that you support real athletes with real stories and genuine passion, which is something I deeply relate to. Your brand stands for performance, style, and a modern mindset , all values that reflect my own approach to both sport and life. That alignment is something I truly value in a partnership.

What role do you see our brand playing in supporting you as an athlete, both on and off the field?
I see your brand as a key partner in my development, not only by providing top-quality gear and performance support but also by helping elevate my profile as an athlete. Off the court, I believe we can work together on impactful projects that go beyond sport and contribute to a greater legacy. I’m excited about what we could build together.
