A brand new indoor padel complex, twelve-metre high ceilings, 500 people from different countries filling the stands, giant screens, sound, lights everywhere, smoke screens, commentators, a broadcast live of all the matches, big name sponsors, a breathtaking opening ceremony, dance shows, a major media coverage, almost ten thousand euros in prize money…And the sixteen best padel players of the season: these were the ingredients of the 2023 Padel Masters of the Map Padel Circuit. A major event which took place from December 15 to 17 at the Gammarth Club.
The map Padel Circuit organized its first full 2023 season of 10 stages across several clubs and regions of Tunisia. "The circuit was able to count on the support of its major sponsors Carte Assurances and Cupra, who made such an event possible, as well as the support of the Tunisian Tennis and Padel Federation.", explains Taher Bouzayen, director of Carte Padel Circuit. The sixteen best players ranked at the end of the 10 stages formed the pairs competing in the Masters which was played in the form of two pools of four teams.
