The first-ever Fast4 Open tournament is happening. A new, fun way to get a competitive padel tournament in one day. It is designed so you play a lot in a short window. We run three courts so matches move fast and the day feels smooth. Pool play sets the seeds, then it is single-elimination to the final. Expect friendly vibes, clear rules, and on-time matches.
We will have prizes for winners of the pools and the finalists, including racquets, merch and bags from our sponsors. You'll be able to win prizes you cannot get anywhere else.
Our sponsors include Wilson, Adidas, Lok, and Poppi. Without them, this wouldn't be possible! Shoutout to Blanca for being the ball sponsor of this event.
