With an extensive career in tennis, spanning coaching, sports management, and leadership roles at some of the most prestigious institutions, Pascal's expertise will be instrumental in helping INTENNSE continue its mission to redefine tennis for a new generation.

Reflecting on how he began his tennis journey, Pascal shared, "I was a swimmer but developed an allergy that prevented me from continuing. My father played tennis, so I gave it a try—and that’s where my passion began."
He is enthusiastic about INTENNSE, recognizing its innovative approach to the sport: "We need something new and exciting in tennis. It’s the community version of the UTS and the new version of the WTT—quick, fun, and easy to learn. It’s exactly what the younger generation wants."
Pascal sees INTENNSE as an ideal platform for dynamic players. "Bublik or Monfils would thrive in this format," he suggested. "From past generations, Marcelo Rios or Kyrgios would be ideal."
As both coach and advisor, Pascal is set to lead Team Tampa with the passion and expertise that have defined his remarkable career. His dual role reflects INTENNSE's commitment to innovation and leadership both on and off the court.
