“I am thrilled to be a Laykold Padel Ambassador. Padel is my passion. Having launched padel in 2015 in Australia it’s been great to see the growth of Padel here and now also in Asia. We are just at the start of the Padel journey here but 2025 is going to be a huge year in growth of Padel venues and players. It develops such a great community, sense of belonging and provides so much happiness and excitement to those playing and involved. The game can only grow with support from brands like Laykold, and companies like APT and Polytan who the padel community can trust to build quality courts around the world.”
