Padel cannot be imagined without Madrid, one of the international capitals of this sport. The region is home to 133 clubs and approximately 12,000 federation members, making it one of the leading international hubs for both the world’s top players and enthusiasts. And this week, it’s in the spotlight: through Sunday, the Comunidad de Madrid Premier Padel P1 by Oysho is taking place—one of the most anticipated events on the entire circuit. The matches between the world’s top male and female players are taking place at the Movistar Arena, which has been set up for the occasion with four courts featuring Premier Supercourt X3 synthetic grass flooring—the official surface of the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour and the International Padel Federation (FIP).
“Madrid isn’t just another stop on the tour. It’s a city that has experienced the growth of padel from the inside and that is an integral part of its history. We’ve now reached the fifth edition, and we’ve seen how this sport has evolved from a passion into a global phenomenon. Few cities can claim to have been so directly involved in this growth. Madrid has a unique connection to padel—to its players, its fans, and the industry surrounding it. This history, this connection, and this way of experiencing the sport make this tournament unlike any other on the circuit,” says Joan Cuscó, president of Esedos Padel, the tournament’s promoter.
As we look forward to new developments for future editions, Spain’s capital will host its fifth edition of the tournament in 2026, once again becoming one of the international events capable of attracting the largest number of spectators.
Beyond the competition, this edition also carries strong emotional significance, as it pays tribute to Madrid native Alejandra Salazar, who is retiring after 26 seasons: she is the most decorated player in the history of the sport. And Madrid, her hometown, will be the stage chosen to bid her farewell.
The Premier Supercourt X3 synthetic turf surface for padel, on which the Comunidad de Madrid Premier Padel P1 by Oysho is currently being played, is the official surface of the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour. The surface gives players a feeling of complete safety and confidence in their movements, while also reducing the risk of injury. It also ensures excellent grip and significantly improves shock absorption, stability, traction, and balance during play.
With hardly a moment to catch our breath, the Alpine Paris Premier Padel Major kicks off on September 7, once again taking place at the legendary Roland-Garros, with evening sessions on the Philippe-Chatrier court. The circuit will resume in late September with an event in the Netherlands (Rotterdam, P2), followed by tournaments in Germany (P2); Italy (Milan, P1); Kuwait (Major); Dubai (P1); and Mexico (Major). The circuit’s grand finale, the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Finals, will take place in Barcelona from Thursday, December 10, through Sunday, December 13, at the Palau Sant Jordi.
Mondo’s synthetic turf surfaces for padel will also take center stage in the coming months at various official competitions and tournaments on the circuit and organized by the International Padel Federation (FIP), which has adopted the Premier Supercourt X3 surface as its official playing surface. For example, the FIP Gold Bucharest (Romania, September 7–13)—one of the most important events on the FIP Tour, the FIP’s international circuit, which awards numerous points toward the FIP rankings—will be played on this surface.
The Mondo surface will also be featured at the FIP Japan tournament (Nagoya, Japan, September 28–October 3), which is part of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, as padel has been confirmed as a medal sport for these Asian Games.
