What does it mean for Reserva del Higuerón to host the XII World Championship?
Reserva del Higuerón has been with the paddle since its inception and proof of this is the organization for seven years of the Reserva del Higuerón International of the PPT. On this occasion, bringing a World Cup, which is the most important expression of sport worldwide, to our facilities and especially to Malaga is a real pride. Sporting events of this magnitude demonstrate the potential of Malaga as an international venue.
How do you assess the impact of hosting a tournament of such magnitude?
Given the importance of Malaga and Andalusia in the number of licenses and national players, we believe that it will benefit many sectors linked to tourism and will give the possibility of publicizing Málaga and the Costa del Sol, not only in the field of sports but also It will show the wide range of hotels, cultural, gastronomic and its unbeatable climate.
Do you think that Malaga has come to consolidate itself as one of the references of padel worldwide?
Surely it is on its way to becoming one and, proof of this, is that at present in the Professional Circuit, Málaga-born artists such as Alejandro Ruiz and Ernesto Moreno participate. They are very young players and they are already called to be the renewal and future of the paddle of Spain.
How will the club contribute to the organization of the World Cup?
Once converted to DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa, our complex will be the Official Hotel of the World Cup and the entire Sport Club facility will wear its best clothes to receive the players in optimal conditions for the Preliminary Stages.
What is the goal of the club for the World Cup?
