Edition 8 Wrapped, The Aftermovie & A Big Date For Your Calendar. Before everybody heads off on their long-earned vacations, we wanted to leave you with one last serve: a thank you, an aftermovie, and a date you'll want to lock in before you pack your bags.

Thank You, GoPro
Edition 8 was our first GoPro-sponsored tournament, and what a chapter it was. From the first rally to the last bitterbal, GoPro (Carsten Smeekes, Laura Massoni and team) helped us take this tournament to a whole new level. And yes, they showed up on the courts too, exactly like we hoped they would. Great people, great energy, and every smash captured in true GoPro style. Thank you for believing in this community and for making Edition 8 one for the books.

The Aftermovie
Relive every rally, every celebration, and every questionable line call. The official Edition 8 aftermovie can be found right here onLinkedIn:. Perfect viewing material for the beach, the campsite, or wherever your vacation takes you.

Save The Date: Edition 9, Friday, November 6, 2026
That's right, we're doing it all over again. Mark it and block it in your calendar: Friday, November 6 at HOME Padel in Hoofddorp. Registration details will follow after the summer, but you know the drill by now: spots go fast, so start scouting your partner between the sunbeds.

Welcome To The Family, TrendAI
And we're not coming back alone. We are proud to announce that TrendAI (trendaisecurity.com) is joining as the sponsor of Edition 9! With their support, we'll be making the 9th edition even bigger. Great people, big ambitions, and just like with GoPro, we're expecting a lot from them on the courts as well. No pressure, TrendAI. 🎾👀
