The tournament. The first edition of the FIP Platinum Sardinia was a success, which brought international padel back to Cagliari after the 2020 and 2021 events. «I hope that the two hundred participating athletes had a good time in Sardinia, the Island of Sport: thanks to everyone's names the Sardinians for this show", the words of the regional councilor for Tourism Gianni Chessa on the sidelines of the award ceremony. And the tournament has already been confirmed for next year too, demonstrating how Sardinia is increasingly becoming a point of reference for the discipline (with also great growth in terms of enthusiasts, fields and practitioners).
