Top-ranked players from around the world will be heading to Beausoleil between 21st and 30th March for the A1 Padel Tour’s first Grand Master tournament of 2025, hosted by the Tennis Padel Club of Beausoleil.
Though the event will mark the fifth tournament on the 2025 A1 Padel calendar, it is the inaugural Grand Master—the highest-level tournament on the A1 Padel Tour. It will feature 48 teams across 10 days of play and is set to attract some of the circuit’s top-ranked players, drawn by the promise of ranking points, prize money and prestige.
Owned by Monegasque entrepreneur Fabrice Pastor, the A1 Padel Tour is one of several professional circuits in the sport, each with its own players and ranking system.
Cristina Pastor, the tournament director and the head of the Tennis Padel Club of Beausoleil, says, “It is a privilege to see such elite athletes returning year after year to this French event, which we are proud to organise in Beausoleil. A strong bond of trust has developed with the players, who feel at home here.”
The competition is expected to draw significant crowds, with Pastor adding, “[The top players’] presence guarantees an incredibly high level of competition, with matches that promise to be intense and fiercely contested.”
The event will open with a P500 tournament on 20th March, a nationally sanctioned competition that will offer the winning pair a wildcard into the main draw of the Grand Master.
Pastor notes, “Beyond the title itself, the athletes will have extra motivation: securing their place to compete against the best international players on this circuit.”
The main tournament will run from 21st to 30th March, starting with the Round of 32 and culminating in the final on the last day.
Entry will be free throughout the week, but there will be a €10 charge for the final weekend. Keen fans of the sport can reserve their seats here.
Looking ahead, Pastor hints at more events later in the year, saying, “The Grand Master in Beausoleil is just the start. We are also preparing for the Monaco tournament this summer, which promises its own surprises.”
Further details about the Monaco event are expected after the conclusion of the Beausoleil tournament.
