The First Serve welcomes Game4Padel in a new partnership for 2025.
In January 2022, Game4Padel commenced operation in Melbourne.
As the first padel facility in the state, Game4Padel Docklands (formerly known as One Padel) has been an outstanding success, achieving high occupancy levels in an untried market from the outset and receiving positive feedback from our key stakeholders at Development Victoria and the City of Melbourne.
In January 2023, Game4Padel Docklands proudly hosted the inaugural Australian Padel Open, the first padel tournament ever held in conjunction with a Grand Slam tennis event and in 2024 their Docklands club hosted our first FIP event with world ranking points up for grabs.
2023 also saw the club at Victoria Gardens Richmond open with both Padel and Pickleball facilities.
"Game4Padel is thrilled to be partnering with The First Serve for 2025," CEO Matt Levey said. "Padel is the world's fastest-growing sport and has taken Australia by storm in recent years. Game4Padel is at the forefront of the sport in Australia and NZ with two clubs already in Melbourne and a third to open in early Feb 2025.
"We are honoured to be working with the First Serve to continue to raise the profile of Padel in Australia. Our goal is to not only educate the listeners, but welcome them into the wider padel community. Game4Padel will be providing The First Serve community exclusive experiences to get involved in the sport or enrich their padel pathway.
"Brett’s expertise and exemplary work is the perfect partner for Game4Padel as we pursue our ambitious growth strategy over the next five years."
The Melbourne Open will be held at Game4Padel Jan 8-12.
First Serve Host Brett Phillips is excited to welcome another new partner for 2025.
"The First Serve's aim is to be a one-stop shop for tennis/racquet sports fans appreciating that tennis has expanded outside just the conventional game over the last few years. In 2023, we had established our Padel Pow Wow Podcast which will return in 2025. It is great to partner with Game4Padel as we look to closely align with the entire tennis/racquet sports community," Phillips said.
