Superb Spain secure fifth women's title at DP World Padel Championship 2022
Spain won the fifth consecutive women’s title after beating Argentina in the final of the DP World Padel Championship 2022 at the iconic Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium on Saturday.
With this win, the Spain women’s team secured their eighth overall World Championship gold following an impressive 2-0 victory over their rivals.
Held under the patronage of Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council, the International Padel Federation’s flagship team event was hosted by the UAE Padel Association (UAEPA) in association with the Dubai Sports Council and the Dubai Department of Economy & Tourism (DET).
The final of the women’s championship was attended by Sheikh Saeed Bin Maktoum Bin Juma Al Maktoum, President of the UAE Padel Association and Chairman of the Higher Organizing Committee, Luigi Carraro, President of the International Padel Federation, and members of the organizing committee.
