La National Padel Cup is certainly the oldest circuit in the world of padel. The NPC will celebrate its 6th candle in 2020. The co-founder of the competition, Christophe Lesage looks back on one of the major events of the year.

  • The NPC: A competition that won its bet ...

In 2014, we had launched hostilities with our partner Head by offering a completely crazy week for tennis and padel fans: the best players in the world had been present with notably Alejandra Salazar, Fernando Belasteguin, Sanyo Gutierrez, Gonzalo Rubio, Andoni Bardasco. What a week !

Born six years ago, the National Padel Cup is one of the reference circuits in the world of padel and necessarily has a special place. It contributes to the development, promotion and practice of padel in France. It is reserved for players of all ages as long as they have a tennis/padel license from the FFT.

  • How the competition takes place in 2020

The tournament takes place in 2 phases, the qualifying phases, between April 1 and September 30, and a final phase, from October 28 to 31 at Cap d'Agde during National Tennis Cup finals. In the end, a great celebration of tennis and padel with a P250 mixed doubles and P500 men and women.

  • National Tennis Cup to feature padel early this week

At the start of the National Tennis Cup final week, we will be offering a padel animation – P100 to introduce tennis playerss who are discovering padel. Last year the first 3 days were incredible. A real treat! And so we want to repeat the experience.

  • The NPC is also bringing together all the French fans

The goal is to unite everyone: clubs, players, organizers, and share a good time around padel with people who come from all over France, to be able to play several matches whatever their level of play.

I think it was successful. Just remind us of what happened last year.
