World Padel Tour

Four courts, one standard

Supplying one show court is demanding. Supplying four that must play exactly alike, at the same event, is a test of the whole manufacturing process.

Four official courts at the World Padel Tour 2023

For years the World Padel Tour was the leading professional padel tour. In 2023, Padel Courts Master supplied the four official courts for the event held in Santiago, Chile. This was not a single show court: the tournament needed several courts in use at the same time, and every one of them had to meet the same standard.

The challenge: making all four play the same

At a professional event, players move from court to court between rounds and practice sessions. If one court bounces differently, if a glass panel responds in another way or the lighting changes, it is noticed immediately. That is why the key is consistency:

  • The same FIP-approved dimensions: 20 x 10 m, with the net at 88 cm in the centre and 92 cm at the ends.
  • The same 12 mm tempered glass and the same hot-dip galvanised steel frame with C5 treatment.
  • The same competition turf and the same level of silica sand on all four surfaces.
  • The same 240 W LED lighting, even and camera-ready.

Why our own factory matters

Four identical courts are not just a matter of installation: it starts in the factory. Our plant works with CNC and laser cutting, robotic arms and robotic MIG welding, so every profile and every joint comes out to the same tolerances. Our own powder-coating ovens complete a uniform finish. That is how court number four ends up identical to the first.

Coordinated installation for an event

A tournament has a fixed calendar and a venue with its own logistics. Our crew coordinates delivery, installation of all four courts, checks on levels, tensions and anchors, and a final inspection before the first match. It is the same method we apply to any padel court installation, adapted to the demands of a professional event.

Frequently asked questions

  • How many courts did PCM install at the World Padel Tour 2023?
    Padel Courts Master manufactured and installed the four official courts for the World Padel Tour 2023 event held in Santiago, Chile.
  • Why should all the courts at a tournament be identical?
    Because players change courts during the event, and any difference in bounce, glass or lighting affects play. All courts must share the same dimensions, materials, turf and lighting.
  • Can a club have courts of the same standard as a professional tournament?
    Yes. We build all our courts with the same materials: hot-dip galvanised steel with C5 treatment, 12 mm tempered glass, FIP approval and a 5-year warranty.
