About
Fermín Novillo
I am from Madrid and I have spent my entire life connected to sports, especially tennis and padel. I started playing tennis somewhat late, at the age of 12. At 16, I became the Spanish champion on hard courts in my category. I was in the first national category for over 15 years (among the top 30 players in Spain) with my best ranking being number 21. I won more than 80 professional national tournaments with prize money. In 1995, I won the bronze medal at the University Olympic Games held in Fukuoka (Japan).
Later as a padel player, I have achieved numerous titles, most notably in the absolute team category: two Madrid championships, one from Andalusia, and two from Spain. Also Spanish champion with the Andalusian team, playing with Paquito Navarro as my partner in my last stage with the team. In pairs, I was Andalusian champion twice and number 1 in the Andalusian ranking for two seasons.
In veterans' teams, I have won the Andalusian championship on several occasions and the Spanish championship twice. With the Andalusian team, we have won the Spanish championship twice. In pairs, I am the Andalusian champion in all categories I have played so far. Also Spanish champion in all categories. And I have been world champion twice, representing Spain with its team and in the over 45 category with my partner.
As a coach, I have directed several tennis and padel schools in different areas. I currently direct the padel school at Málaga Tennis Club, the oldest club in the city (it was established in 1895).
Together with my friend Maurice, we have begun this adventure of PADEL CLINICS MÁLAGA which is having an extraordinary reception. Players from different countries have fun learning padel with us in a wonderful environment while tasting Spanish gastronomy and enjoying the wonderful climate of the city of Málaga.

After years of organising trips in Central Asia, I emigrated to Spain with my wife in 2022. Since then, I have thoroughly enjoyed Spanish life: the warm culture, the hospitable people and, of course, the wonderful sports opportunities. Soon I discovered padel and filled my tennis bag with padel rackets. Under the name La Flor Padel clinincs Málaga, I organise customised padel clinics for smaller groups staying in our luxury holiday villa.
For larger groups and competitive players, I started a collaboration with my friend Fermín. Together we created Málaga Padel Clinics, the place for padel groups from all over Europe. I personally guarantee an unforgettable padel experience.
