I love to compete, it really drives me, which ultimately drove my passion for padel to where I play two to three hours a day when I can. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of bringing the World Padel Tour to Miami and to be selected as Blockchain.com Miami Padel Open’s Honorary Chairperson. The best padel players in the world are coming together to compete at the highest level in the very city my team and I play our home games – it’s something to be proud of to say the least.

Mario Hernando, World Padel Tour General Director added, “We are very happy to be able to start the season in Miami, one of the United States’ most important host cities to world class sporting events. The magnificent venue immediately elevates the tournament to the level of challenge of the best WPT tournaments.”
