This October, the CUPRA FIP Tour will have two international padel tournaments in the US, which will be a significant milestone in the domestic development of the sport. The FIP Bronze and FIP Silver competitions will take place in Austin, Texas, and San Diego, California, allowing American players to gain global ranking points without having to go overseas.
Positioned just beneath the Premier Padel circuit, the CUPRA FIP Tour is run by the International Padel Federation (FIP) and provides professional players with a means of advancing their rankings, earning experience, and earning prizes. Events are ranked from Bronze to Platinum, with more incentives at higher levels.
The FIP Bronze Grand Prix is held in Austin.
The FIP Bronze Padel 39 Grand Prix will take place at Padel 39 in Austin from October 8–10. Players from all around the nation and outside will be able to participate for a €10,000 prize fund and significant ranking points at Padel 39, which is a USPA Premier Club.

Finalists and semi-finalists will receive qualifying wild cards, while the winning pair will receive a wild card to the main draw.
Important points
Up until recently, American padel players have had to go to Europe or Latin America in order to obtain FIP points. This reality is altered by these October events, which provide domestic competition of the highest caliber.
Ranking Access: American athletes can now accumulate world ranking points without having to fly abroad.
Global Competition: Top international talent is anticipated to attend both events, giving domestic players invaluable experience.
Club Development: USPA Premier Clubs’ hosting of Bronze and Silver competitions demonstrates their contribution to the national development of padel.
A new chapter in American padel history is marked by the CUPRA FIP Tour’s debut in the country, which gives a growing sport chance, recognition, and impetus.
