Puente Romano Tennis Club Marbella was set up with power doubles action from star pairs: Eva Longoria and Amaury Nolasco. These celebrity actors also had fun in the new glass padel courts, which means they are indeed athletic in real life as well. Some mesmerizing pictures of their in-motion shots, strongly tinged with the unmistakable Marbella flair that cannot be brought to any other place when a game gets played there, were caught on the resort’s Instagram.

For the uninitiated, padel considers the sport more like that of tennis’s cooler cousin: smaller courts, glass walls, fast-paced rallies. As it reigns supreme through Spain, seeing both of them venturing into the sport somehow lends a new respect to athleticism itself. Longoria, famous for her onscreen stint in ‘Desperate Housewives’ side by side with activism, looked poised and equipped to go against anyone, while Nolasco gained recognition from ‘Prison Break’ and showed the equals respect with his quite sharp moves.
Soon after, the comments poured in from fans. One such admiring comment read: “Hello Eva, I wanted to tell you how much you inspire me with your talent, elegance, and determination. I’m 16 years old, and I dream of dancing, acting, and sharing my passion with the world, just like you do with such grace.” Quite a lovely record, showing how far Longoria’s voice is from merely a treaty of the entertainment world.
Another user admired the location with: “Wow this actually looks amazing great you are at playing tennis to as well.” Typos-filled enthusiastic retorts warmed up the spirit: People want something from the star power and the gorgeous backdrop.
Here’s one funny barb at Nolasco: “‘Cómo te salvaste @amaurynolasco 😜😜😜.’ (translates to ‘How did you save yourself @amaurynolasco 😜😜😜’)” Clearly, whoever said this guy knows Nolasco‘s competitive spirit and was not terrified of weighing in with some banter smack in the middle of the match.
The wealthy life of Marbella had already been up for discussion again, with another observer comically stating, “Marbella style on the court — that’s a doubles match I’d pay to see. 🎾🔥” Indeed—it’s known for luxury living and has been forever, and dropping in some celebrity athletes here and there just seals the deal for me.
The post told little about the youngsters’ activities during the match; yet it hardly mattered as the real win was getting to watch two people pursue the sport passionately. Longoria has been very outspoken on keeping fit; she often posts clips of her workout and wellness routines. Meanwhile, Nolasco has always been an imposing presence in his work, so grace on the court is no surprise.
