Sergi Nogueras and Marc Bernils won in the Pro Male category
In the Pro Male category, it was a 2 sets battle. Sergi and Marc were facing Tim and Andrea in a match that has created a love/hate and drama history in this 3 “mini stage” of 3 Grand Sams in a row. The men’s final, was decided in two sets, 6/2, 6/4, 6/4 for Sergi and Marc. We’re sure there will be more battles between those teams soon!

Confortable and sportive drive
After Singapore (The Cage), the bar continued to rise. However, the APPT GRAND SLAM not only met expectations, but exceeded them in terms of padel level. The combination of local players, from nearby cities and countries and the Tour faithful turned the event into a success for participation and community.
The last Grand Slam of this 3 tournaments “mini stage” is over, but the show will continue in Kuala Lumpur… In less than 1 month!
Asia Pacific Padel Tour (APPT) played its first tournament in November 2024 in Bali, Indonesia. The Tour aims to promote padel in Asia and provide opportunities for local professional players to grow in Asia Pacific.
With this mission, APPT has played seven tournaments in Bali (Indonesia), Manila (Philippines), Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Hong Kong (China), Shenzhen (China), Phuket (Thailand), Bali (Indonesia), Jakarta, Singapore (x2). In addition, before the end of the year, it will pass through at least Malaysia, Japan and the UAE. So, the season will close with more than 10 tournaments in different countries in Asia Pacific.
In terms of participants, the Tour already has more than 1200 registered participants from 76 different countries. Among these, players from local countries stand out, but there is also a significant community of European players (especially Spanish) who live in Asia or travel to play in the various tournaments. It should be noted that the circuit draws players to each city where a tournament is held, and this factor is key to the growth of APPT. In addition, the tournament is creating a loyal community, and good proof of this is that 45% of the participants are in the amateur category and come from different Eastern countries.
A special mention also to HEAD, WILSON, ROYAL PADEL, ZAS, Supernatural+, Crowne Plaza Chiang, Lotus , Eightstone, Como Hotels , The Sanchaya and Dusit Thani and Ice Tribe.
