It’s inspiring to see how much this sport brings people together, and I’m more motivated than ever to keep pushing boundaries and growing the game.” – Rodrigo Banzer

Padel X – Miami, FL: “We are coming to Sarasota to try to win. We have a few experienced players mixed with some younger athletic players. Hopefully the right combination to take home the trophy. I’m looking forward to traveling with all the players. It will reinforce the cohesion in the team and definitely create some memorable moments for all of us.” – Nalle Grinda

To see all of the development across the US and representation from the whole country is amazing.” – Andrew Herring

Real Padel – Miami, FL: “We are feeling great and are excited to compete against the best clubs in the U.S. I’m confident we can win it because we have great players that, in every match, work hard for the same goal of giving the team the W. ⁠I find this format really good for the sport because usually it’s only you and your partner. But this time you have to support and cheer the whole team because all matches matter regardless of the level.” – Tarek Deham

Taktika – San Diego, CA: “Our captain, Alasdair Owers-Bradley, did a great job putting together a team that trains and competes together often, which seemed to make a difference in our result.

The experience in the PCL has definitely driven our shared passion for growing the sport of padel.” – Ryan Redondo

The camaraderie with my teammates, the thrill of competition, and the constant drive to improve have been incredibly inspiring.” – Juan Arraya
