3 March 2025 at 17:58
The FIP Silver R3 Bullpadel Cup will take place at Rocket Padel Bristol from April 9 -13, 2025, marking the highest-level professional padel tournament ever sanctioned in the UK.

With a groundbreaking €18,000 prize pool, this event sets a new milestone for professional padel in Great Britain. The tournament will attract top national and international talent to compete in what’s been dubbed ‘Britain’s padel capital’, Bristol.
This tournament is the first event in the R3 Bullpadel Cup series which has been established to transform padel in the UK by boosting the profile of the sport and enabling padel players to compete more regularly at home. The Cup will be played over a maximum of six events, delivered in conjunction with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) and International Padel Federation (FIP), this year hosted at some of the highest quality padel venues in the UK.
R3 and Rocket Padel have partnered for this event to deliver an exceptional experience for both players and spectators. The tournament will offer attendees the opportunity to enjoy high-level padel action alongside entertainment, street food and exclusive interactions with professional players. An activation zone will feature a range of padel-related companies offering exclusive discounts and benefits. Admission to the event will be free for spectators. Additionally, a multi-camera live stream, complete with replays and commentary, will broadcast the tournament to a global audience, ensuring widespread access to the excitement.
The International Padel Federation (FIP) Silver event will be complemented by a FIP Promises, a junior international competition featuring U18 and U14 boys' and girls' categories. This addition underscores R3’s commitment to youth development in British padel. Marking the first tournament of its kind in the UK, it will launch the R3 Junior Cup, a national series designed to provide a structured competition pathway for emerging British padel players. The winners of the event will be awarded a one-year athlete management contract with R3 Sport, offering the support necessary to advance their careers to the next level.
Jonathan Rowland, Co-founder and Chairman of R3 Sport, said:
"Bringing FIP Silver-level competition to the UK is a transformative moment for British padel. This is the highest-level international tournament ever staged in this country, and it’s just the beginning of what the R3 Bullpadel Cup will deliver for the sport. Players need more opportunities to compete at an elite level, and this event will provide exactly that—while also inspiring the next generation through the R3 Junior Cup. We’re excited to partner with Rocket Padel to deliver an event that raises the bar for British padel."
Sebastian Gordon, Founder of Rocket Padel, added:
"Rocket Padel is committed to driving the growth of padel in the UK, and hosting an event of this calibre at our Bristol club is a huge moment for both the venue and the sport. Partnering with R3 Sport allows us to provide a world-class experience for players and fans alike, and we look forward to welcoming some of the best international and British talent to Britain’s padel capital this April."
