Here are the courts at next week’s Premier Padel Italy Major

There’s nothing left to celebrate one of the most special tournaments on the calendar at Premier Padel. After the tour in South America, where we’ve experienced some very exciting tournaments, padel returns to Europe to continue enjoying the 2024 season. First it will pass through Bourdeux, in France. A P2 that promises to continue giving strong emotions to the spectator, but the highlight will come a week later with the Italy Major, the second Major of the season.

The world’s best players will return to Rome for the third consecutive year from 15-23 June. It is one of the four top tournaments on the Premier Circuit (along with Qatar, Paris and Mexico). Not only does that mean a bigger prize money for the winners, but there are also a lot of ranking points at stake. It comes at a key moment in the season for many couples and could mean a before and after for many of them.

The setting, of course, will be the imposing Foro Italico. A place already known for professional padel, where there have already been some vibrant matches in previous editions. The court will be provided by the well-known company MejorSet, which tells us some details about how the 20×10 will be in this tournament.

A stage fit for a Major

If there is something that Premier Padel takes seriously are the places where the tournaments of the circuit take place. With its arrival in professional padel, emblematic sites such as Roland Garros were incorporated, and among the most iconic scenarios is the Foto Italico.

Located in Rome, it was inaugurated in 1932 and throughout its history has hosted numerous prestigious sporting events. These include the 1960 Olympic Games and the legendary Rome Masters 1000 tennis tournament. It has a capacity for 12,500 people and is sure to have, as in previous years, a great atmosphere throughout the week.

However, such a beautiful stage would be useless if it did not have the best infrastructure to watch the highest level padel. As in the three previous editions, MejorSet will provide the best courts in the transalpine capital.

MejorSet: from La Cartuja to Foto Italico

The company from Alicante has a lot of experience when it comes to putting the best quality in the most impressive places. Last season it was already present in spectacular tournaments such as the P1 in Madrid or the P1 in Milan. Already in this 2024 has been in several tournaments of Premier Padel, but undoubtedly highlights the P2 of Seville. With a packed Cartuja, the players brought out their best in a tournament that will remain in the memory. The courts and the organization of the same gave rise to one of the most beautiful scenarios in memory.

Now it will have two very important challenges to continue to establish itself as one of the references in the construction of courts in professional padel. They are the Italy Major and the Paris Major. The first at the aforementioned Foro Italico and the second again at Roland Garros.

What will the courts of the Italy Major be like?

In Padel Addict we have an article about how is the official court of Premier Padel by MejorSet and telling its main features. Maximum quality and the best technologies so that the protagonists are as comfortable as possible and that the fans can enjoy without any problem.

There will be 6 portable Full Panoramic courts and 2 fixed courts, which were installed in 2022, in addition to the Premier centre court, which will feature the colours black and gold. In Seville the combination was the other way around, with gold standing out more, and this time black will be the main colour again.

 

The court stands out for several reasons. Firstly because of its resistance, since it is always possible that some mishap may occur, but MejorSet has done its best so that this is not the case. With innovations such as the Shock Lock, they make sure that the durability is the maximum, being able to withstand extreme conditions. It also stands out for its visibility, thanks to the panoramic windows and the best LED Projects lights. Finally, exclusivity. With Premier logos and unique customisation, MejorSet makes the most prestigious court a court to match.

A tournament to consolidate the growth of padel abroad

It is very important for padel to keep growing in new countries. In Spain and Argentina it is a very well established sport, but also in Italy. The number of courts and clubs has increased a lot and the data indicates that it is one of the places where there is more rage with this practice. This tournament only strengthens that idea and helps Italy to become one of the references of padel at an international level.

In fact, MejorSet assures that the padel market is more concerned about the quality of the courts and that this indicates the great development that the company is experiencing in terms of its exposure in the best clubs and the demand in tournaments where quality is a fundamental pillar. The more the game is played, the greater the concern for this type of aspect and the higher the demand for top quality courts, as is the case in Italy. The Padel Resort club is a great example of the latter.

MejorSet also highlights the demand for the construction of courts in places that were previously exclusive to tennis, such as the Tatoi club in Athens (Greece). These are small indications that only reaffirm the fact that padel is growing more and more abroad. That is why tournaments such as the Italy Major are so important for the maturation of padel as one of the sports with the most potential in the world.
