The Andalucía Málaga Premier Padel P1 is one of the most anticipated stops on the international padel calendar — bringing the sport’s top-ranked players to the Costa del Sol and showcasing the highest standards in professional competition.
But beyond the rallies and rankings, events like this highlight something critical: the technical demands pro players have when it comes to court construction. For clubs, developers, and padel enthusiasts, the tournament offers a blueprint for building courts that meet elite expectations.
What do pro players expect from courts at padel events?
Professional players operate at the highest level of speed, power, and precision — and they require courts that support that intensity. The Andalucía Málaga Premier Padel P1 is no exception, with courts tailored to strict international standards. Here’s what makes the difference:
1. World-class playing surfaces
Elite players expect surfaces that provide consistent bounce, controlled slide, and precise grip. The synthetic turf must meet specific density and fiber quality standards to support fast, technical gameplay while reducing injury risk.
2. Certified glass walls for performance & safety
At padel events, 12mm tempered glass is the standard — offering clear visibility, high impact resistance, and structural stability. These walls not only enhance the playing experience but also improve the visual appeal for spectators in stadium and broadcast settings.
3. Lighting that elevates the game
Professional matches often run into the evening, requiring uniform, anti-glare lighting systems that eliminate shadows and ensure perfect visibility. Lighting must be strategically placed and precisely calibrated to avoid affecting players’ vision or ball tracking.
4. Structural engineering for competitive play
From net tension systems to roof clearance on covered courts, every element is designed with tournament-level play in mind. The court must support high lobs, powerful smashes, and fast rebounds — without interference or vibration.
5. Built for the climate, ready for crowds
Being held in southern Spain, the Málaga P1 courts must also account for UV exposure, temperature variation, and wind resistance. Structures and materials are selected not just for performance, but for durability and comfort under Mediterranean conditions.
