Paddle is a sport that does not stop growing. On the tracks, on television, on social networks … but there is a place where you have not yet managed to enter: the keyboard of our mobile devices. While Tennis and other racket sports such as ping-pong or bádminton have their own emoticonthe paddle still without official representation in this area.
For this reason, from Mundo Deportivo and the Chiquita Padel we have launched an initiative to change it: an official request to create the paddle tennis on all digital platforms.
Millions of people live the paddle for passion and share it every day in networks and chats, so an own emoticon would allow fans to express themselves better, identify as a community and show his love for this sport in a simple and universal way.

But the 'paddle fever' goes much further. The sport of the shovel causes sensation in territories such as Argentina, Italy or Swedenexpanding all over the world in recent years. It has professional circuits such as Premier Padel and international tournaments broadcast in more than 180 countriesbuilding a huge digital community that lives it with passion.
We consider that Emoji is much more than an image: It is a way of giving visibility to a hobby, of recognizing itself and Place the paddle where it deserves to be. They have already achieved sports with less global impact. Now it's our turn!
