The professional padel circuit lands in London this week: the London P1 is the first Premier Padel tournament ever staged in the British capital, taking place at the iconic Olympia London in Kensington.
A historic week for padel in the UK
The main draw starts this week with the world's top-ranked players. The event follows the circuit's debut in South Africa, where Triay-Brea and Galán-Chingotto took the titles in Pretoria after two finals decided in third-set tie-breaks.
The event is a clear bet on padel's growth in the UK, one of the sport's emerging markets, with a fanbase that keeps growing tournament after tournament.
Upcoming tour stops
The tour doesn't stop: after London comes Madrid P1 in late August, the Paris Major in September and the season finale with the Premier Padel Finals in December, where Fanatics will launch in-venue retail.
