POLOKWANE – Bendor Padel was buzzing with energy last Friday as players of all levels came together to compete in two fun and competitive tournaments hosted by SRE Padel.

The day kicked off with the Ladies Cappuccino Tournament in the morning, followed by the Men’s Americano Tournament in the evening.

Both events used a round-robin format where players switched up partners every round, with their individual scores being tallied to crown the champions.

The ladies kicked things off with some fantastic play.
