Alfonso Patacho Set to Return to the Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic

Following a standout performance at last year’s Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic, British padel star Alfonso Patacho is set to return to The Hurlingham Club for the 2025 edition of the prestigious tournament, taking place from 14-15 May.

Patacho, one of the leading figures in UK padel, made a lasting impression at last year’s event, reaching the final alongside former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan. With his exceptional speed, tactical intelligence, and relentless work ethic, he has cemented his status as one of the most exciting players on the UK padel scene.

Reflecting on his return to the Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic, Patacho expressed his excitement:

"I’m thrilled to be competing in the Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic again. It was an amazing experience last year, and I’m looking forward to putting on a show for the crowd once more. The level of padel was incredible, with Sam Billings playing almost like a pro, so I can’t wait to see who comes out on top this time."

Patacho’s return adds to an already stellar line-up, with the tournament attracting some of the best padel players and sports personalities. The event at The Hurlingham Club is known for delivering high-intensity matches, blending professional padel with a unique celebrity pro-am format.

As a fan-favourite, Patacho’s presence will undoubtedly bring excitement to the court, and with his determination to go one step further this year, spectators can expect a thrilling showcase of padel talent.

The Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic continues to build momentum as one of the premier padel events in the UK, and with stars like Patacho returning to the fold, the 2025 tournament is set to be one of the most competitive yet.
