Femme Open, the international sports network dedicated to promoting women’s participation in sports, is returning to the UK with an event at Rocket Padel Battersea.
The re-launch will be celebrated with a high-energy padel tournament on 3 May at the club on the Thames in the shadow of Battersea Power Station, promising a day of competition, camaraderie and celebration.

The London event will feature 40 women competing for prizes and goodie bags provided by prestigious brands such as Bamford, Wilson, J. Lindeberg and PALAIR.
Sky Sports journalists Gail Davis and Joanna Wilson, and journalist Suzanne Baum will be present, alongside players including Sarah Horrocks from PALAIR and a team from Bamford the Club.
