Premier Padel and WPT Challenger clash again — will be held on the same dates
Today both players and representatives from the World Padel Tour flew in for the presentation of the WPT Challenger at Rafa Nadal's academy in Mallorca. At the same time, Premier Padel dropped a bombshell, a Major in Rome. Both during the same date at the end of May.
The conflict between the World Padel Tour and the newly launched Premier Padel Tour continues. Today Premier Padel officially announced that the next Major will be held in Rome in May.
The press release came as representatives from the World Padel Tour, and players were in Mallorca for the presentation of the WPT Challenger at Rafael Nadal's academy in Mallorca.
In addition, the Italy Premier Padel Major and the World Padel Tours Challenger will be played on the same date at the end of May.
The first Premier Padel tournament also clashed with the World Padel Tour's first Challenger in Getafe. Then, all players except Nox-sponsored Miguel Lamperti and Rafa Mendez chose to participate in Premier Padel's Qatar Major.
The reason was that Nox advised its players to forgo the Premier Padel tournament as the brand is a partner of the World Padel Tour. In an interview with Padel Alto, star Agustin Tapia said Nox decided not to allow the player to participate in the Qatar Major.
