Marta

Marta ortega


A prodigy of precision and power, Spanish athlete Marta Ortega made history as the youngest player to reach world No. 1 in padel. Now a key figure in the Spanish national team and a part of the Certina family, she embodies the spirit of a sport that thrives on focus and finesse - proving that true mastery is built on resilience and perfect timing.

Although padel is played on an enclosed court, it's essential that the players think outside the box. In this sport, which is similar to squash, the walls surrounding the playing area are part of the game. This means that padel is primarily a game of tactics and skill, and easy for new players to pick up. The sport is played exclusively as a doubles match over a central net. The rules and scoring system are almost identical to those used in tennis. This means that the game involves long, spectacular rallies that are as fun for spectators as they are for players!

Partnerships

It's clear to see that Certina and the up-and-coming sport of padel are perfectly matched – both on and off the court. It's obvious what the two have in common: Padel is dynamic, urban, precise, fast-paced and powerful. All these things and more are true of the Swiss watchmaking brand as well. Certina has proudly demonstrated a love of sport for decades in the form of its robust, reliable watches. As a result, Certina is now proud to support the continued development of padel at a local level in a number of countries.
