Although The Padel Invitational presented by UBS is not a Premier Padel official Tour event, the ambition is that Australia would one day host a tournament on the global padel circuit. Keeping padel hydratedFor hydration brand Waterdop, sponsoring The Padel Invitational presented by UBS was “a no-brainer” and aligns with its broader strategy to “show up all year around in racquet sports”.
