The official trophy of the Ooredoo Qatar Major Premier Padel 2023 was officially unveiled today at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha. Top seeds number 1, 2, 3 and 5 attended the presentation and showed their padel skills in a unique setting, with breathtaking views of the Doha Corniche.
On a sporting level, the first round of the opening tournament of the season has been completed today in the spectacular Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex. Up to 24 matches where played between the 5 official courts, including the big win from Spanish pair Sánchez Piñeiro-García Rodrigo against the Argentines Belluati-Lamperti (6-2, 7-6).
