Competition format
In this section we have to distinguish between the regular season and the Cup, both follow a similar format. In the regular season, teams are divided into two groups and play each team in their group once. Men’s and women’s doubles are played best of three sets with a 10-point super tie-break instead of a third set, while mixed doubles are played to one set with a 6-6 tie-break.
The PPL Cup involves the top eight ranked teams, which are divided into two groups. The top two teams from each group advance to the semi-finals, and then to the final or the third-fourth place match.
How much money will be distributed in the Pro Padel League in 2024?
The PPL has announced a prize purse of $1 million for the 2024 season, underlining the growth and importance of this new league on the world padel scene.
With all these elements, the Pro Padel League 2024 is shaping up to be a key event in the sporting calendar, attracting both big name players and new talent, and promising a high level of competition for all padel fans to enjoy.
