"We are very excited to partner with Taktika Padel and their leadership team and have them host our last regular season event at the award-winning Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego," said Marcos Del Pilar, PPL Commissioner. “This season has already delivered incredible competition from all of our teams and the world’s best padel players. We are looking forward to the PPL showcasing the sport, our league, and the entertainment of our players on the West Coast of the U.S. and growing our fan base with those who live in San Diego and its surroundings," he added.
"We are delighted to host the Pro Padel League this August in San Diego. The PPL stands out as the premier team padel event worldwide, and we are confident that the city of San Diego, along with the award-winning Barnes Tennis Center-Taktika Padel, will deliver an exceptional event for the league,” commented Ryan Redondo, CEO of Youth Tennis San Diego at the Barnes Tennis Center and co-owner of San Diego Stingrays. “Moreover, with thousands of padel enthusiasts at Taktika Padel and our neighboring regions south of the border, we eagerly anticipate showcasing the world's best talent. This event will not only captivate current fans but also bring the beauty of padel to those who have yet to experience it in the U.S. market, a fundamental value of the Pro Padel League,” he added.
