With padel starting to gain serious momentum here in the U.S., it was inevitable that we’d eventually see an official national championship tournament. And now we have confirmation that the first-ever US Open Padel Championships will take place from October 3rd – 6th, 2024 at the sprawling Ultra Padel Club in Miami.
The debut edition of this tournament will also serve as the final major on the Chosen Foods USPA Circuit and will feature a 64-team draw in Division 1 for both men and women, showcasing the top talent in the sport. In addition to the the elite Division 1, the tournament will also host competitions in Divisions 2 and 3 in order to accommodate competitive play at various skill levels.
In a statement, the US Padel Association (USPA) said, “We warmly welcome players from the USA and other countries, underlining the USPA’s commitment to fostering and promoting competitive padel globally. The USPA anticipates a full draw, which will be selected using players’ FIP and USPA rankings.”
USPA President Martin Sweeney added, “We are incredibly proud to announce the inaugural US Open Padel Championships at the spectacular new Ultra Club. This tournament is not just a competition but a celebration of padel’s growing prominence in the USA and an opportunity to set a global benchmark. The tournament champions will go down in history as winners of the first US Open Padel Championships.”
