Judy Murray to play at the 2025 Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic
TTB Sport is thrilled to announce that tennis icon and beloved coach, Judy Murray, will be taking to the court at this Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic on 14-15 May.
Known for her incredible achievements in the world of tennis and for being the mother of tennis superstars Andy and Jamie Murray, Judy is set to bring her unique blend of skill, passion, and energy to the fast-growing sport of padel.
Judy played on day two of the Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic in 2024 but now returns on both days of the 2025 event.
The highly anticipated 2025 Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic will take place at the world-renowned Hurlingham Club and fans can expect an electrifying competition.
Judy’s participation adds even more star power to what is already one of the year’s most exciting padel events, and her debut appearance is sure to inspire both new and existing fans of the sport.
Judy Murray said: "I’ve always enjoyed trying different sports and although padel is pretty new to me, I’m really looking forward to stepping back on court alongside some fantastic pro players and learning from the best in the business.
"Padel has such an exciting energy - it’s fast, furious and wonderfully sociable. I’m keen to see how it continues to build more and more participation around the world and this amazing event is such a great showcase for the sport “
"I really enjoyed playing on day two last year and helping to raise so much money for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, so I’ve have signed up for both days this time around."
Fundraising is a key component of the Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic. The money raised will benefit the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, which directly supports The Hurlingham Club Foundation’s girls' racquets project, Empower.
Founded under the Patronage of Nelson Mandela, Laureus Sport for Good has been operating for the last two decades supporting more than 300 programmes in over 40 countries and territories, each using the power of sport to support young people from underserved communities.
The Hurlingham Club Foundation’s Empower project uses racquet sports, including padel and squash, to engage young girls in meaningful, physical activities that build confidence, leadership, and resilience. By leveraging the power of sports, the project empowers young individuals to reach their full potential, equipping them with vital skills for success in life.
Murray added: "I can't wait to hear more about the project funded by Laureus Sport for Good and hopefully meet some of the young women involved at The Hurlingham Club May."
With British Tennis, Judy designed the Miss Hits programme which was born out of a need to get more girls playing tennis.
Judy's entry into the Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic is expected to generate a lot of buzz and further elevate the visibility of padel in the UK and beyond.
The Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic will bring together some of the world’s best padel players for a thrilling and competitive event. It is anticipated to be an unforgettable experience for participants and viewers alike while raising vital funds for Laureus Sport for Good to further the positive impact of the Empower project at The Hurlingham Club.
Several celebrities will feature in the 2025 event with Sir Andrew Strauss and Michael Vaughan already confirmed alongside Judy Murray. TTB Sport invites all partners and event guests to join them in celebrating the spirit of sport and giving back while contributing to a cause that will change lives for the better.
The Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic is co-founded by investment, advisory and marketing group TTB Sport alongside Charlie Grave, who said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Judy Murray to the 2025 Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic. Her presence adds a new level of excitement to the event, and we know that both fans and players will enjoy watching her in action. Judy’s participation will undoubtedly inspire many people to pick up a racket and get involved with padel."
