The Spanish Beach Tennis Championship will bring together around 300 players from across the country

Marbella is establishing itself as a benchmark for hosting major sports events with the Absolute Beach Tennis Championship, which will bring together nearly 300 players from across the country. The council member for this area, Lisandro Vieytes, highlighted the importance of this event, which takes place in the Mediterranean Park until Sunday, May 18, and emphasized that "it represents an economic impact for the city of almost half a million euros." He also pointed out that it is held "in magnificent facilities covering about 80,000 square meters, with 17 courts, a central one with stands, and seating for half a thousand people, which has been equipped with infrastructure that allows hosting different areas." The councilor also announced that the City Council has signed a sponsorship contract with the Royal Spanish Tennis Federation for the next three years, "with the aim of ensuring this event continues in our town." Similarly, he noted that "we have not only committed to this sport but also to sand sports in general, such as the King's Cup and the Queen's Cup of Beach Volleyball."

In addition to thanking the federation for its commitment to the municipality, as well as the support of the Malaga Provincial Council and the director of Show Time, Ignacio Saracho, Vieytes highlighted the participation of the Marbella Ola Beach tennis club "which with its experience and collaboration with a group of volunteers will also allow this tournament to be a true success." The councilor, who has invited the public to enjoy "one of the most important sports events in the city," reminded that the King's Cup and the Queen's Cup of Beach Volleyball, which will be held at the end of the month in the Mediterranean Park, "will also bring together the best pairs in the world of this discipline."

For his part, the beach tennis officer of the Royal Spanish Tennis Federation, Carles Vicens, expressed his conviction that "this event will grow more and more" and thanked the City Council "for making this magnificent venue with a fantastic environment, a wonderful sea available to us." "Being in Marbella means developing a future project and growing it in the perfect place," he emphasized regarding a tournament that will feature men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed categories and will include parallel activities such as clinics, technical courses, and exhibitions. Finally, the director of Show Time added that "the triad between the federation, City Council, agencies, and private sponsors is ideal for bringing large-scale championships to the city" and noted that the finals of the meeting will be broadcast live on Teledeporte.
