In May 2012, coinciding with the Rome Tennis Masters Series and with the collaboration of a local partner, ManzaSport installed a padel tennis court as part of the tennis tournament.
For the setup in an event of this magnitude we opted for the Model Pro padel court, the padel court structure was chosen in white. The grass used for the padel court installation was fibrillated in blue and the tempered glass was 10 millimetres thick. For the padel court lighting, 8 metal halide spotlights were fitted.
The padel court was installed inside the same facility at the Italian venue where the tennis tournament is played.
We’re proud to have been the first to install a padel court as part of the tennis tournament. In addition, the final phase of the Rome International Padel Tournament was played on the padel court we installed, featuring players Mario Doncel and Juan Antonio Senent Alfaro.
Tennis tournament attendees were curious to get to know the sport. It also served for many padel fans to be able to enjoy the sport in an amazing setting.
Italy is seeing an increasing number of fans of this sport and we hope that it will become more widely known. Thanks to these initiatives we can showcase padel to a greater number of people.
