All The Angles Padel Business Podcast S2 E11: Is Padel Too Premium? Debate (01:01:25)
This episode we do something different. I play devil's advocate and put forward a proposition. And I ask some experts from the industry to agree or argue. This first debate asks Soul Padel's Mark Hewlett, InstantPadel's Christoffer Granfelt and Taktika Padel's Ryan Redondo to question whether the sport of padel is being positioned and promoted as a pasttime for the affluent and elite. Is the reputation of the sport and its ecosystem veering to hard towards luxury, celebrity and premium? And i...
All The Angles Padel Business Podcast S2 E10: Focus on Padel Travel & Tourism (00:52:37)
Perhaps the only thing better than playing padel is playing padel in a beautiful and inspiring environment. Travelling for padel is becoming a big business so we decided to get a better understanding on the state of the sector and what the path ahead looks like. From the resorts and destinations part, we have Tom Bergqvist of Croatia's beautiful Padel Solta alongside Guillermo Del Grosso, the Operations & Events Director from the world famous Nueva Alcantara Club in Malaga. Joining them, ...
All The Angles Padel Business Podcast S2 E9: Focus on Building a Winning Pro Franchise (00:56:01)
On the 2nd February 2025, in its freshman season of the Hexagon Cup, the Kru Padel by Taktika team took the trophy after the NextGen women's pair clinched the third match decider. This was a team that picked up some of the non-franchise players from the other existing franchises, sprinkled on some celebrity stardust in the form of Sergio Aguerro and Leo Messi and came through to make history. But not much is known about how this team franchise project started, who came to who and who convince...
All The Angles Padel Business Podcast S2 E8: Focus on Hexagon Cup 2025 (00:42:57)
In just over a year, the Hexagon Cup has cemented its place as one of the most entertaining professional padel events in the world. The 2025 edition, its second, showcased growth across every metric: attendance, viewership, social media content, engagement, number of teams etc. In this week's episode, Managing Director Astrid Thams and COO Sergio Lewin join to breakdown how the event has evolved since its first edition early 2024, and what the future holds for this team franchise based compet...
All The Angles Padel Business Podcast S2 E7: Focus on NY & NJ (00:50:13)
New York is the City That Never Sleeps. Increasingly that is because residents are playing at padel in and around the Big Apple. After Miami, those monitoring the pick up of the world's fastest growing sport in America will always keep a sharp eye on the New York and New Jersey, and so we are delighted to cover the region with two of the biggest brands in the region. Padel Haus was the first brand that opened in Williamsburg in 2022, while Padel United Sports Club is a more recent addition to...
All The Angles Padel Business Podcast S2 E6: Focus on Court Building (00:46:42)
This episode, we get back to fundamentals: the 20 x 10. Courts have come a long way since the concrete walls that still exist in legacy padel markets. As the world opens up to, and embraces, the sport, the race to deliver courts is fierce, with heavy competition around cost, features, resilience, quality and ancillary services. We try to take a slice across the value chain as we talk to a leading manufacturer in MejorSet, a pedigreed advisor leading WSB Sport, and an innovative deliverer in t...
All The Angles Padel Business Podcast S2 E5: Focus on Premier Padel Part 2 (00:36:43)
THIS IS PART 2 OF OUR INTERVIEW WITH PREMIER PADEL In 2002, the first Premier Padel events appeared on the professional padel circuit, alongside the decade old World Padel Tour. By 2024, the World Padel Tour was no more, and Premier Padel was hosting 25 different events across 18 countries. The evolution of the pro scene, with Premier Padel now firmly at its heart, has been nothing short of remarkable. Managing Director David Serrahima and Commercial Director Rob Mitchell are among the chie...

In 2002, the first Premier Padel events appeared on the professional padel circuit, alongside the decade old World Padel Tour. By 2024, the World Padel Tour was no more, and Premier Padel was hosting 25 different events across 18 countries.

All The Angles Padel Business Podcast S2 E3: Focus on Padel in Africa (00:52:29)
Episode 3 is another geographic focus episode: Africa. A continent that doesn't get enough attention in global conversations, Africa has some of the fastest growing economies in the world. Countries like Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa are maturing at an incredible rate, and so it is no surprise that padel has started to gain traction in those (and more). Joining us for this conversation, Sebastian Brokmann of South Africa's Balwin Padel and Ibrahim Nofal from Egypt Padel Tour give us a gli...
All The Angles Padel Business Podcast S2 E2 Focus on Player Associations (00:49:44)
Episode 2 of Season 2 focuses on the role and future of player associations in the rapidly developing world of professional padel world. So much is changing and evolving for players: the young Premier Padel tour, other tours and circuits in the calendar, exhibitions around the world, prize money, appearance fees, sponsorship obligations, IP-based projects and opportunities etc. Carlos Gonzalez is the Head of Strategy and Business at the Professional Padel Association (the men's player colle...
All The Angles Padel Business Podcast S2 E1: Focus on Decathlon (00:53:11)
We start Season 2 with a sleeping giant. Some will have preconceptions of Decathlon. Some will think they already know what Decathlon does vis-a-vis padel. I genuinely believe that most of our listeners will not be aware of the full range of angles from which Decathlon approaches and supports this sport. Decathlon impacts padel across markets, products, technology, partnerships with global players, local coaches and pro events, court and club relationships and more. Thank you to Frederic ...
All The Angles S1 E14: Focus on a Padel Outsider View (00:51:25)
This week we tried something different. An experiment. We played Devil's Advocate. What if we gave two expert observers of the sports business industry a chance to opine on the sport of padel: both the participation piece and the professional piece? Neither had much of a grounding in the sport apart from some context we provided and we asked them where they felt padel sat in relation to the rest of the industry and what they would do to help padel in its next global phase. They were good s...
All The Angles S1 E13: Focus on Miami and the US (00:40:28)
Anyone monitoring padel worldwide is monitoring the US. And anyone doing that, knows that Miami is where the momentum started. Miami is now home to about 80 courts, making up one third of all US courts. And more clubs are springing up all the time. But how did the sport find a foothold there? How has it grown since then? And what is its, as well as the country's, future relationship with padel? This week's episode brings Julian Wortelboer, who is the Founder of Padel Smash Academy, Presiden...
All The Angles S1 E12 Focus on Padel Content Creation (00:57:12)
Modern sports now rely on third party content creators to grow recognition, drive fan engagement and entertain. Those who made a name for themselves early and who found a winning formula, have secured reputations, followings and relationships within the sport that are the envy of everyone else. Two individuals who did just that in the last 5 or 6 years are Pablo Garcia of The 4th Set, and Sven Boele of Otro Nivel. While the first focuses more on the professional tour and players (both in Spa...
All The Angles S1 E11: Focus on Women Participation in Padel (00:39:06)
The world of sport is increasingly waking up not only to the importance of women participants and players, but the need to meet them on their own terms. In the rush to launch, build and roll out across the padel ecosystem, it can become easy to park, if not ignore, any such segmentation. This week's episode doesn't look at women working in the padel business, nor does it explore the female professionals on tour. Those deserve (and will get) separate episodes. This week, we bring some of th...
All The Angles S1 E10: Focus on Padel's International Hype Cycle (00:49:08)
Difficult to argue against the idea that internationally, padel is riding a wave of discovery, growth and enthusiasm. Some call that a hype cycle. But what comes with that? What characterises a hype cycle? And what are the positives that come with that status or moment? Equally, what are the dangers and downsides of a hype cycle? And cycles tend not to last forever. What happens on the other side of the wave? Can you see it coming and can you mitigate against its worst effects? Thes...
All The Angles S1 E9: Focus on Padel in Argentina (00:55:42)
Argentina is not a country or market to take lightly. It is one of the biggest markets in padel globally and one with a proud and long history in the sport. So this week, we brought in two absolute heavyweights of the country to talk us through the beginnings of Argentina's adoption of padel as a national sport, the boom and the bust, the dividends of a history and dedication to the game, the tussles with tennis, its dominance on the global professional scene and what the future holds for th...
All The Angles S1 E8: Focus on Padel in the Middle East (00:40:13)
One of the areas outside the Spanish-speaking homelands that has really embraced padel in recent years is the Middle East. Brought to Dubai by Sheikh Hamdan, the sport has flourished in the region to the point where now in 2024, the Qatar Sports Investments runs the sole and FIP-recognised global professional tour, Premier Padel. In this week's episode of All the Angles, Alex Inglot and Hexagon Cup's Ben Nichols welcome two individuals intrinsically involved and invested in the Middle East'...
All The Angles S1 E7: Focus on Conferences (00:54:02)
This year saw the launch of the first editions of both RacquetX in Miami, and then Padel World Summit in Malaga. Why did both founders (Robyn Duda and Alex Ponsetti respectively) decide that the time was right, now? Both talk about how padel and the wider racquet sport space have matured to a point where serious business is being done and needs to be done in person. And yet padel is still struggling to flicker on the radar of wider, non-endemic sports industry conference organisers. Why is ...
All The Angles S1 E6: Focus on IMG Entering Padel (00:43:24)
This last June, IMG unveiled their entry into the padel space, by announcing men's Number 1 Arturo Coello as their first client and bringing on board industry heavyweights Auguste Hernan and Daniel Dios to drive the vertical. It is a seismic moment when a company with the size, reputation, breadth and pedigree enters the market and in this week's episode, Alex Inglot and Hexagon Cup Managing Director Astrid Thams talk to these two captains as they steer this project and begin exploring how t...
All The Angles S1 E5: Focus on Padel in Asia (00:52:16)
Asia is the largest and most populous continent in the world. It has the fastest growing consumer class globally. It has rich pockets of racket sport pedigree. So the conditions for padel's proliferation are perfect. But there have been delays and challenges. In this week's episode of All The Angles, Alex Inglot and Hexagon Cup's Ben Nichols are joined by three outside experts from different corners of the this huge area to explore all manner of subjects related to Asian padel: Academies E...
All The Angles S1 E4: Focus on the Power of Match Data (00:45:35)
Described as "today's oil", data is critical in so many aspects of modern life. In sport, match data has become increasingly crucial in a range of different areas: player and coaching performance analysis, driving fan insight and engagement across broadcast and content, underpinning the betting experience and more. In this week's episode of All The Angles, Alex Inglot is joined by three outside experts in the space to explore how padel is collecting its match data, and what it is doing with...
All The Angles S1 E3: Focus on Sweden's Padel Ups and Downs (00:47:12)
Rocket Padel's Founder Sebastian Gordon and MATCHi's CCO Andreas Karlsson witnessed and were part of Sweden's incredible relationship with padel over the last decade or so.In today's All The Angles episode, together with Hexagon Cup's Astrid Thams and Alex Inglot, we try to understand that relationship: the highs, the lows, the current status, the future and of course the reasons.
All The Angles S1 E2: Focus on Pro Padel Player Management (00:53:05)
This week, Alex Inglot is joined by another Hexagon Cup founder, Jose Calvo Sotelo, and together they track how professional padel has undergone a revolution and how that has impacted the players and the agents that look after them. Antonio Jover Calderon of WIM Sports looks after top 10 players like Paquito Navarro, Victoria Iglesias and Momo Gonzalez. Pablo Tejero Mancho of All in Sports Group looks after Javi Garrido, Coki Nieto and ex-No1 Pablo Lima, as well as names across other sports....
