The Legends Game including Raemon Sluiter and Ronald de Boer and Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie was thrilling, thrilling, and occasionally magnificent. Robben and Van Persie prevailed 6-4 in the end.

When the former football players and tennis players took the court on Sunday afternoon for the World Padel Tour Decathlon Amsterdam Open finals, the evocative AFAS Live was already crowded with spectators. De Boer actually had to postpone his performance with Rafael van der Vaart this week. He was replaced by Sluiter.

“I played wonderfully with Sluiter, and it was unfortunate that Van der Vaart could not make it,” De Boer remarked after the game. He was a former football player and commended Sluiter’s volley and the emotion with which he put those balls away. “Obviously, having played tennis in the past, I have an advantage,” Sluiter remarked. However, I’ll need some time to learn how to utilize the glass walls to their full potential.

Thus, following a thrilling and engaging encounter, De Boer and Sluiter were forced to concede defeat to Van Persie and Robben. The former strikers are now passionate padel players, having once been among the top footballers in the Netherlands for many years. It is well known that Robben had a padel court constructed in his backyard.

Sluiter: “Robben and Van Persie play pédalga as a hobby, but they try to play professionally.” the determination and self-control with which they play. Everything is enormous. I adore that quality in them.

De Boer later admitted that although he had silently lamented the loss, he had actually rather enjoyed it. We really entertained the audience, and it was a pleasure to perform in this setting. In addition, the Legends Game and the entire World Padel Tour Decathlon Amsterdam Open serve as excellent promotional tools for padel in the Netherlands.
