There is a lot of talk about the future of the World Padel Tour. Will it still exist beyond 2023 and if so, in what form? With the new Premier Padel (from QSI and FIP) and the APT, there are two more tours that are trying to attract the world's best players. We will report on the new "Premier Padel" tour shortly.
A full schedule
This season, however, the best players will still be competing for the WPT in no less than 13 countries. Clear proof of the unstoppable boom that padel is experiencing internationally. Four "newcomers" are also taking part: the USA, Denmark, Holland and Austria. The padel-mad Swedes will even be hosting two open tournaments and the WPT circus will also be visiting Belgium twice this year.
Padel has not yet made its big breakthrough in the USA, but the first tournament of the year in Miami provided an excellent stage for the sport and the upcoming Senior World Championships in Las Vegas also indicate that padel fever will soon reach the USA (we will report on the World Championships here).
The WPT Tour 2022 includes a total of 30 events, which will culminate in December at the Masters Final in Barcelona. The eight best pairs will then fight for the most important title of the year. With the new, free streaming channel www.worldpadeltourtv.com you don't have to miss anything because there will be even more live broadcasts in Spanish AND English.
With so much international euphoria, the question is: What about Germany? The sleeping giant in padel is just about to wake up, so why not organize a tournament here with the world's best players? We're on it! Hopefully more on that soon.
