Rocks Lane Chiswick will host the first British International Padel Federation (FIP) event of 2026 this week with a host of British and international talent in action.
This is the first of five FIP Tour events in Great Britain this year as part of our LTA Padel Performance Competitions Calendar to offer British padel players the chance to earn both prize money and valuable ranking points on home soil.
The Cupra FIP Tour is the first stage of the professional padel circuit, with four different levels of events, bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Players can earn differing amounts of prize money and ranking points depending on the level of competition.
The FIP Bronze at Rocks Lane will host men’s and women’s draws of 32 pairs. On the women’s side, 18 British players will compete, with British No.3 Tia Norton being the highest-ranked British player. Other national players set to compete include Abigail Tordoff, Laura Jackson, Chloe De La Mare and Rosie Quirk. The Italian, Spanish pairing of Carlotta Casali Vannicelli and Ana Dominguez Gracia headline the main draw.
13 British men are currently confirmed to compete, with more bidding to join them as they prepare to compete in the qualifying rounds. British players, Sam Jones, Louie Harris and Tom Farquharson will all be in action at Rocks Lane, along with Britain's highest ranked junior player, Ben Phillips.
The action kicks off with qualifying rounds starting on Thursday 7 May, with the main draw commencing on Friday 8 May. Both the men's and women's finals will take place on Sunday 10 May.
Complimentary spectator tickets are available for Rocks Lane Padel members, while non-members can purchase tickets for £5.
