Community Focus
The ÖTV Padel Series offers more than just another tournament. The one-day events will prioritize community, family, and a vibrant event atmosphere. An academy coaching session with Padeltrainer.Academy head coach Octavio Santana is planned, alongside racket testing with equipment from StarVie and CorkPadel. Attendees can also enjoy music, a fun tournament, food, and chill-out areas. Each event will feature an AI camera system from Clutch, providing participants and viewers with livestreams, instant highlights, and statistics. The series aims to showcase padel as a modern lifestyle.
Ohneberg: “Must Meet Growing Demand”
Martin Ohneberg, President of the Austrian Tennis Federation, expressed his excitement for the ÖTV Padel Series: “Padel tennis is becoming increasingly popular in Austria and is being offered in more and more tennis clubs. As the Austrian Tennis Federation, we want to acknowledge this positive development and meet the growing demand. This is how the idea for the recent ÖTV Padel Series came about. We are very much looking forward to organizing this event series with Breitfellner Padel Projects and Padeltrainer.Academy, as well as numerous supporters, and to organize it professionally as always.”
