I’m super excited to share some awesome news with you all about an incredible event happening in the world of padel. The US Open Padel Championships are set to kick off on Friday, October 4th, at Padel Haus Dumbo, Brooklyn’s premier padel facility. This tournament promises to be a landmark event for the sport in the USA, featuring a star-studded lineup with some of the most accomplished names in padel.
The Stars of the Show

Jared Palmer is a multiple Grand Slam-winning tennis player who has transitioned to padel. He has already won a US Open—the mixed doubles in 2000 at Flushing Meadows. Palmer has also represented the US National Team at the FIP Senior World Championships on multiple occasions and now resides in Sweden, where he first started playing padel. His elite experience in racket sports and tactical acumen will make him and his partner, Henry Gill, formidable competitors. - Brittany Dubins
Brittany Dubins is the number one ranked American player and has been a force to be reckoned with on the Nox USPA Circuit. She has won four titles this year and is undefeated on the circuit. Dubins was also undefeated playing for the US National Team this year, helping them qualify for the FIP World Championships later in the season. She enters the tournament alongside the equally impressive Carla Rodriguez Sanchez with the aim of adding the US Open title to their impressive season. - Luis Estrada and Nico Agritelly
Luis Estrada and Nico Agritelly have multiple victories on the US padel circuit and are well known for their consistently strong performances. Both players are former number one ranked players in the USA and have experience in the PPL as well as on international circuits.

Known for his speed and precision, Gaspar Campos has been making waves on the international padel circuit. Hailing from Spain, Campos has won three USPA tournaments this year, including the first-ever Las Vegas Open Men’s title.
