WPT: a controversial innovation

Le World Padel Tour has planned a modification of the design of the court for the Final Master. A two-tone field at the height of the modernity of padel.

A criticized choice

As when any innovation appears, part of the critical audience instantly, feeling rushed by the change. Even more so when it's the first time that the blue is not the same.

Some people criticize because they don't like sky blue. Others are worried about gamers, whose pupils won't be able to adjust to the change in color. Some believe that the yellow ball will not be visible on TV against sky blue.

These critiques are moderately constructive, and you have to look at why the WPT made this choice to understand it.

A laudable initiative

The Final Master, to be held in Menorca from December 10 to 13, 2020, is a special tournament, because the 8 best pairs of each of the categories of the “best padel of the world ”clash. It was necessary to mark the occasion, and this design proves that this tournament is unique.

The design has been modified taking into account the technical services and sports, with feedback from players and coaches, more in favor of change.

“This is the first time in history that there will be two colors on the pitch,” congratulates the WPT on its website. This innovation may seem simple enough but it is the gateway to other designs in the future.

With this kind of initiatives, which have the ambition to make the field more original, more visible on social networks, and more identifiable, the WPT shows its desire to enter a new dimension.

Le padel professional is gaining weight. The modernity of this sport must be accompanied by regular and modern innovations that make it possible to position the padel like THE sport of the XNUMXst century.

It is notably through innovative designs, and events external to the sporting spectacle that the padel will be able to enter theentertainment pure. So the WPT could attract more sponsors, more diffusers, and more spectators.
