The Rye Padel Club Mexicano tournament took place at the Rye Lawn Tennis Club on Sunday, April 7. The sun was shining and the courts were dry for a fantastic six hours of competitive padel. All levels were catered for, with 48 keen players split between three groups.
The Mexicano format mixed up the partnerships as the results came in and enabled everyone to play with a variety of different partners. Individual scores were kept, with Sally Watson in charge of the spreadsheet with me ringing the bell (loudly) every 15 minutes and making sure everyone was with the right partner on the correct court. Somehow amid the chaos it all worked well. Play started at 9am and the last matches finished at 3:30pm.
The winners from each group were Greg Say, Phil Harper and Keith Thomas. Congratulations to them and to everyone who came along to play and spectate. It was a great day, the club and the bar were buzzing and we look forward to welcoming more players to our next padel event. Hopefully we can make these tournaments a regular fixture in the padel calendar.
Rye Lawn Tennis Club welcomes new members for padel, tennis and squash.
