Today Till Gygax aka SkillTill, member of the CUPRA Swiss Padel Team and currently Switzerland&#8217;s number 1 in the men&#8217;s singles. <\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Till has been playing padel for almost 10 years. He grew up in Singapore and first came into contact with padel there. \u201cI actually had a tennis lesson, but the coach noticed my lack of commitment on the tennis court and suggested that I play padel instead. I very quickly discovered my great passion for the sport.\u201d  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Right-hander Till has been a member of the Swiss national team, the CUPRA Swiss Padel Team, for five years and plays in competitions with different partners, often with Ivan Lopez or Patrik N\u00e4f.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What fascinates Till most about padel? \u201cThe sport is extremely dynamic, multi-dimensional with the walls and physically demanding. A combination of teamwork, tactical game intelligence and physical skills lead to success. The rallies are usually extremely long and very attractive to watch.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14932 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/swisspadel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/swisspadel_nationalteam_till_gygax-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swisspadel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/swisspadel_nationalteam_till_gygax-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/swisspadel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/swisspadel_nationalteam_till_gygax-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/swisspadel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/swisspadel_nationalteam_till_gygax-1-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/swisspadel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/swisspadel_nationalteam_till_gygax-1-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/swisspadel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/swisspadel_nationalteam_till_gygax-1-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/swisspadel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/swisspadel_nationalteam_till_gygax-1.jpg 1334w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sporting goals &amp; tips for padel beginners<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cFrom 2024, I&#8217;ll be going full throttle for one to two years. That means playing padel professionally and training in Spain whenever I can. After this time, I will reflect again and then continue as a professional or perhaps enter the traditional professional world. My most important goal is to reach the top 200 in the world!\u201d   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And does he have any tips for less experienced players? \u201cI advise beginners to be patient and not always go straight to the point. It&#8217;s better to avoid mistakes and recognize your opponent&#8217;s weaknesses early on so that you can use them as a basis for your own tactics.\u201d  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here you can find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/skilltill_official\/\">SkillTill on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":24007,"template":"","news-taxonomy":[128],"class_list":["post-24005","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-taxonomy-national-team"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swisspadel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/24005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swisspadel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swisspadel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swisspadel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swisspadel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news-taxonomy","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swisspadel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-taxonomy?post=24005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
