This is the third of five FIP Tour events in Great Britain this year as part of our LTA Padel Performance Competitions Calendar to offer British players the chance to earn both prize money and valuable ranking points on home soil.
Outside of the London Premier Padel P1, the FIP Silver Rathbones Island Padel is the highest level of professional padel event hosted on British soil, attracting both top national and international players. This landmark event highlights the sport's rapid growth across Britain and its increasing prominence within the wider sporting landscape.
The FIP Silver Rathbones Island Padel will host a women’s draw of 16, as well as a men’s draw of 32. Seven British women are set to compete including British No.5 Abigail Tordoff, recent LTA Grade 1 champions Alice Keddie and Victoria Nicholas as well as Chloe De La Mare and Rosie Quirk. The Argentinian Spanish pairing of Maria Virginia Riera world No.37 and Teresa Navarro Lopez-Barajas world No.55, headline the women’s draw.
Six British men are currently set to compete in the FIP Silver Rathbones Island Padel main draw, with the possibility of further home representation emerging through the qualification rounds.
