In Vienna, the World Padel Tour again offers a track with black carpet. And the least we can say is that it leaves no one indifferent. And unfortunately for the circuit managed by Estrella Damm, the feedback is currently rather negative.
It's not Carlota Palma, the Spanish “Twitter”, who will say the opposite.
Does black carpet benefit from its appearance?

2. Much of the palas, equipación… its darkness
3. Gradas are also dark

First, first observation: the track is dark and the site is also dark. In addition, the carpet surrounding the track is also black, whereas it is usually red and contrasts with the blue track.
Then, the lack of contrast with players who often play with dark clothes or rackets on a dark track does not always allow you to see very clearly...
If we add to that almost empty stands with gray seats, we have the impression of being a bit in a black and white version.
In summary, the fan experience is clearly not very convincing.
Now remains to be seen if the WPT really wants to continue in this direction or if it was only a test or some way to please the organizers.
You haven't seen this black run yet, don't miss the LIVE of the sixteenths!
