Whenever Padel Haus makes a major announcement, you can count on another big piece of news coming right behind it.
This turned out to be true yet again this week when Paul Haus announced that not only would they soon be expanding to Atlanta, with a covered six-court club in West Midtown, but also that they would be hosting the first-ever U.S. Open Padel Championships in Brooklyn here in just a few short weeks.
Much like Sensa Padel’s new facility in Nashville (where Padel Haus will also soon be opening a club), the Padel Haus facility in Atlanta will be part of a mixed use re-development of an old industrial district that is known as Westside Paper.
According to Padel Haus, “this 70-year-old former paper manufacturing plant’s industrial heritage and soaring ceilings make it an ideal location for the sophisticated installation of padel courts, a sport known for its unique construction requirements.”
The Atlanta location — which is slated to open in early 2025 — will be the seventh overall for Padel Haus, along with four in Brooklyn, and soon-to-open clubs in both Nashville and Denver.
Back to Where It All Started
While there is plenty of excitement surrounding each of these new locations outside of New York, there will also be plenty of excitement at Padel Haus’ original Brooklyn locations in just a few weeks when they host the inaugural US Open Padel Championship at Padel Haus Dumbo from Friday, October 4th to Sunday, October 6th.
This will be the final Major of the Nox USPA Circuit and will feature a $15,000 prize pool. Following in the footsteps of PADELphia, these prizes will be distributed equally between the men’s and women’s divisions.
The top division of men’s and women’s will be a 64-team draw with matches live-streamed throughout the tournament. All main draw matches will be played at Padel Haus Dumbo, with some Division 2 and Division 3 matches held at neighboring Padel Haus venues in Domino Park and Williamsburg.
“This is a huge moment for padel in the United States and we are thrilled to bring the inaugural US Open to New York City. One of the largest metropolises in the world, New York is home to a diverse community which has truly embraced the spirit of padel and will provide a brilliant host to this historic tournament,” said Ryan Redondo, Chair of the US Open Sub-Committee of the USPA.
He continued, “Padel Haus has been a long-standing partner to the USPA and boasts some of the best padel venues across the United States. We are thrilled they will host this tournament in this landmark event for padel and we are focused on making this tournament a tremendous success.”
Padel Haus founder and CEO Santiago Gomez added, ““We are delighted to be the host venue for this significant occasion not just for the sport of padel, but for the broader Open Championships legacy in the United States. As the number one padel operator in New York, we are excited to welcome some of America’s and the world’s best players to the Big Apple for this milestone in padel’s young history. We can’t wait to welcome New Yorkers to see the best of padel in just three weeks’ time.”
