About Premier Padel

The Premier Padel tour 2024 consists of four major tournaments (Doha, Rome, Paris and Mexico), similar to the Grand Slam events in tennis. In addition, there are tournaments in two other categories, P1 and P2, and Finals as the season finale. The P1 tournament in Rotterdam is an absolute highlight due to the grandeur of the event and the presence of all the top players in the world. Premier Padel and WPT merged into one worldwide professional padel tour early this year, under the supervision of the International Padel Federation (FIP).
