The Reserve Cup Series moves from the United States to Europe for the first time, with Marbella serving as the new venue. The renowned Puente Romano Marbella will host the 2025 edition from September 18–20, combining elegance, sport, and elite padel in one of the year’s most anticipated events. The competition promises intensity and spectacle from beginning to end, with a minimum guaranteed for each competitor and $500,000 in prize money.
Joaquin Sanchez and Jimmy Butler provide personality to the sidelines.
The event will include two well-known captains, adding a distinctive twist to the format: Spanish football icon Joaquin Sanchez will represent Team Marbella, while NBA star Jimmy Butler will head the Reserve Team. Beyond the court, their presence adds entertainment value and strategic flair. They are backed by two padel legends, Maxi Grabiel, who leads Team Marbella, and Juan Martin Diaz, who coaches the Reserve Team. Both are renowned for their leadership and in-depth knowledge of the game.
The Costa del Sol is illuminated by a titanic battle.
Alejandro Galan and Arturo Coello’s matchup against Juan Lebron and Agustin Tapia will be the tournament’s main attraction. These four players are competing in what is being dubbed the match of the year after dominating the international padel circuit. A fight full of drama, accuracy, and memorable moments is promised by their rivalry, skill, and chemistry.
Suspenseful and strategically deep format
Two squads of eight players apiece will compete in the Reserve Cup Marbella. In order to make sure that every match matters, the scoring system grows in value over the course of three rounds: one point is awarded for a victory in round one, two in round two, and three in round three. In order to add levels of strategy and unpredictability, coaches are only permitted to make one substitution every match and cannot repeat pairings. Fans are kept interested by this framework until the very last point is made.
Fans get an engaging experience that goes beyond a competition.
In order to optimize the atmosphere and fan interaction, matches will take place in the evening. In addition to the court, guests will take advantage of a well planned entertainment schedule, fine restaurants, unique events, and a first-rate VIP experience. The Reserve Cup is elevated from a sporting event to a cultural one as Marbella’s Puente Romano becomes a center of sport and nightlife.
With its combination of top-tier performance and lively atmosphere in one of Europe’s most glitzy locations, the Reserve Cup Marbella is poised to revolutionize padel’s global reach.
