PADEL SAN MARINO

Padel activity falls within the disciplines of the San Marino Tennis Federation and the Padel contact person is Jarno Giardi.

The association is affiliated with FIT Padel and since 2019 also with the ITF (International Tennis Federation), with the possibility of participating in the European Championships and the World Championships.

In the summer of 2023 the couple composed of Edoardo Berardi and William Forcellini were part of the delegation of the San Marino National Olympic Committee for the first time at the European Games staged in Krakow. The blue and whites, led by coach Antonio Mami, faced the Poles Mateusz Lipinski and Maciej Naduk on their debut, who won 6-3, 6-4, fighting until the end to reach the third set.

At club level, the San Marino representative plays in the Italian Serie D championship. The matches take place on the home pitch of the Wonderbay in Serravalle. The structure also organizes courses, divided into various levels. In addition to the FIT instructor Jarno Giardi, the association can count on the collaboration with the Spanish master (and former world padel tour player) Angel Ruiz of the Riccione Tennis Club.

Wonderbay regularly hosts amateur yellow, single pairs and mixed doubles tournaments. In 2022, the structure hosted the first edition of the Wonderbay Padel Cup, the men's and women's Open FIT padel tournament and, at the end of September, the first edition of the San Marino International Kuikma Padel Cup, a FIP Gold category event. Sixty couples battled on the fields of the San Marino facility, with athletes from Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and San Marino. Four players are included in the Top 50 of the world rankings.
