Padel Returns to Monaco!
The Monte-Carlo Padel Master – a stage of the World Padel Tour (WPT) championships – will take place from 6 to 11 September.
In Monaco, a country that traditionally places great importance on sport, everything is ready for one of the great events of the padel season, the Monte-Carlo Padel Master, a stage of the World Padel Tour (WPT) championships, which will take place from 6 to 11 September.
This tournament, first held in September 2015, will therefore consolidate its presence on the sporting scene. It will confirm Monaco as an unmissable venue on the WPT's annual calendar for the thousands of padel amateurs and professionals who follow all the stages of the circuit every year.
A major new innovation for the 2016 event is the Fabrice Pastor Trophy, which will be awarded to the winners of the Monaco Master. The trophy was exclusively created by the jewellery company Cartier for Mr. Fabrice Pastor, founder of the Monte-Carlo International Sports Company, the organisers and promoters of the Monte-Carlo Padel Master. The 2016 event will also include a women's tournament, like the other Masters on the circuit.
Thanks to the efforts of the Monte-Carlo International Sports Company, the world's best male and female players will gather at the iconic Fontvieille Big Top, a multipurpose venue that will be specially adapted for the occasion. Two courts will be set up – an indoor court for the tournament matches and a PRO-AM, and an outdoor court to be used for warm-ups for the players and various other activities. The first women's matches will take place in the Soleil Padel Club in Beausoleil.
Fabrice Pastor, Managing Director and Promoter of Monte-Carlo International Sports, initiated this major project. As an entrepreneur who has been a padel player for several years, he is committed to help develop this sport in the Principality of Monaco and worldwide. The activities undertaken by the Monte-Carlo International Sports include sponsoring professional players, opening a padel club on the Côte d'Azur and supporting women's padel.
Without doubt, the Monte-Carlo Padel Master will be one of the greatest events of the year and a unique opportunity for all padel lovers, who will be able to enjoy this sports event in a beautiful city. Tickets are already on sale on the event's web site, montecarlopadelmaster.com.
The deadline for registration for the Monte-Carlo Padel Master for local players ends on Wednesday 17 August at 7 p.m. (registration on the web site: http://montecarlopadelmaster.com/inscription/).
