What's happening in the world of padel tennis right now?
Padel tennis continues to experience a remarkable upswing in Germany, fuelled by new initiatives and its growing popularity as a trend sport.
Here is an overview of the current developments from different directions, which show how dynamic the growth process of Padel in Germany is!
CUPRA German Padel Tour
The CUPRA German Padel Tour, initiated by the German Tennis Federation (DTB), is a significant movement to promote padel in Germany. The series comprises over 40 tournaments, with the highlight being the GPT Finals in Dortmund, and aims to strengthen the padel community nationwide.
The DTB is actively committed to the integration of padel into its association strategy and supports its professionalisation.
Padel tennis inspires as a new trend sport
Essen recently opened what is probably the largest padel hall in Germany, underlining the growing supply and increasing demand for this sport.
In total, the "We are Padel" padel hall in Essen (with national player and regional manager Daniel Lingen) has 8 normal padel courts and two single courts on an area of 5000 square metres.
But of course there is more Padel courts in the Ruhr area.
First digital DTB Padel Future Forum
On 2 March, the DTB is organising the first digital Padel Future Forum. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., all questions relating to padel will be answered in various topic blocks. Registration is free of charge and is now open.
The first digital DTB Padel Future Forum sheds light on the rapid development of padel worldwide and its potential for tennis clubs in Germany.
The forum provides a platform for discussions about the integration of padel in clubs and the challenges of setting up padel courts.
Influence on tourism and the hotel industry
Padel is also increasingly influencing the tourism industry. Hotels and resorts are recognising the potential of this sport and are responding by building new padel courts or converting existing tennis courts.
This takes into account the rapid growth of padel and the needs of the padel community, which travels in larger groups and prefers longer stays.
These developments show that padel tennis is not only gaining in importance in Germany, but also internationally.
With the support of associations, integration into the tourism sector and the increasing number of events and venues, padel is becoming an increasingly important part of the sports landscape.
