Raquet sports brand Slazenger aims to cement itself as one of the leading names in the UK’s fastest growing sports by opening 10 new padel clubs this year to total around 150.

Slazenger Padel has opened its newest location in Blackburn, featuring nine padel courts and two pickleball courts.

It will also be the official ball sponsor of Madrid's Hexagon Cup, one of the sport’s most prestigious international tournaments.

A Slazenger Padel spokesperson said: “Padel has experienced an incredible trajectory over the past few years. It’s a highly social sport and a relevant younger brother of tennis, appealing to a wide array of demographics making it a natural fit for our audiences.”
