At the weekend, Münster hosted the third paddle tournament of the German Padel Tour (GPT) of the year took place. There, first-class padel was offered in the categories Men 1 and Men 2, so that not only the players but also the spectators got their money's worth.
In the Men's 1 category, our neighbours from the Netherlands prevailed (once again). Peter Bruijsten and Berend Boers did not miss a single top German team on their way to winning the tournament, defeating Böhnke/Samuelsen (6:2, 6:4), Panske/Messerschmidt (6:2, 6:1) and in the final Nowicki/Lingen (7:5, 7:5).
It remains to be seen who will take part in the next GPT tournaments in Nuremberg (GPT Nuremberg) and Frankfurt (GPT Frankfurt) will use the chance for a sporting revenge... The first registrations have already been received - and those who have not yet registered can do so directly. here do.
