The UAE Residents Open was attended by the UAE’s robust padel community and senior executives from the Emirates Post Group, including Abdulla Mohammed Alashram, Group CEO of Emirates Post Group.
 
“Not only am I delighted with our win tonight, but also with the chance to compete in such a significant global event. Considering that this is my first tournament, the experience so far has been incredible. I felt really encouraged and more confident in our game as the crowd cheered on for us. I cannot wait for the next round of the tournament,” said Jordi Casanova, one of the finalists from the men’s tournament.
 
On working her way up to proceed to the finals of the UAE Residents Open women’s tournament, Angela Caro said: “My participation in the World Padel Tour dates back to 2016; but owing to personal obligations, I had decided to retire in 2021. I am grateful and thrilled to play at the UAE Wild Card Championship, as it has given me a second chance to compete on a global platform.”
