In this episode of The Off-Court Podcast, we’re joined by Dhanielly “Dhany” Quevedo — Top 10 U.S. padel athlete and founder of Elite Sports Management — to break down what the future of padel in the United States really looks like. We dive into Dhany’s journey from elite junior tennis to competing at the top of U.S. padel, why Miami has emerged as a major hub for the sport, and how padel is trying to carve out its place in a country dominated by pickleball. Dhany shares her perspective on what’s driving padel’s growth, what’s holding it back, and what needs to change for the sport to truly go mainstream in the U.S. Beyond the court, we explore the business side of padel — from club models and athlete support to why Dhany decided to launch Elite Sports Management, the first female-owned, padel-focused sports agency in the country. We also talk about representation, leadership, and what it takes to balance life as both a high-level athlete and a founder.

Mexico Major Madness: Coello & Tapia Close the Season | The Off-Court Podcast EP.28

We’re back for Episode 28 — and it’s officially the one-year anniversary of The Off-Court Podcast. Thank you to everyone who’s been with us from day one. We can’t believe we’ve spent a full year talking padel every week, and somehow the sport keeps giving us even more to get into. This week, we break down the Mexico Major — the final Major of the season and one of the standout tournaments of the year. In this episode, we cover: - Acapulco vibes: the changing court speed, the heat, and what felt like the best crowd of the entire season. Loud, animated, and full of Lebron supporters. - Paquito and Jon Sanz: their chemistry, energy, and the quarter-final celebration that instantly became a highlight. - Notable storylines: questions around Coki Yanguas, plus the ongoing conversation around Stupa and Di Nenno. - Lebron and Leo Augsburger’s first real outing as a pair: a near exit in the Round of 16, a semifinal push, and a style of play so aggressive they’re practically standing on top of the net. - The women’s final: Bea González and Claudia Fernández deliver a dominant performance against their former teammates. Bea at her sharpest and most aggressive, Claudia showing once again why she’s becoming the most reliable forehand on tour. - The men’s final: Coello and Tapia close the door on the year-end No. 1 race. Chingotto and Galán had their window at 5–2 in the second set, but Coello and Tapia held firm when it mattered. - A look ahead to the Barcelona Finals and the pairs heading into the last event of the season. This episode is packed with strong storylines, reactions, and the usual Off-Court perspective. Thanks again for supporting us through our first year. Here’s to many more.
