Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The Nam Padel Courts centre was the place to be when the finals of the inaugural Heineken 0.0 Open Padel tournament was concluded on Saturday evening.<\/b><\/p>\n

A big and boisterous crowd was on hand to see the Hinda brothers, Veja and Nguvi, win the men\u2019s title, while Katja Tattersall and Linique van der Berg won the women\u2019s title.<\/p>\n

Both finals were thrilling affairs that saw fortunes swaying to and fro between the contestants.<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s final, the Hinda brothers won the first set 6-3, but their opponents, Henco Serdyn and Deon Pienaar, struck back to take the second set 6-3.<\/p>\n

The final third set went down to the wire before the Hinda brothers finally won the tiebreak 7-6 to win the match 2-1.<\/p>\n

Veja says it was a tough match.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started off very strongly to win the first set 6-3, but our opponents changed their game plan completely and played very well to win the second set 6-3. So we had to adjust to their new game so the last set went to a tiebreaker which we managed to win,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Nguvi says the victory meant a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very happy to win this title because we lost to them in the premier league not so long ago, so now we managed to take revenge. I can\u2019t really say much because I\u2019m so excited. It was a long match, but my brother and I kept each other going,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Both brothers have represented Namibia in other sport codes, with Nguvi shining in tennis and Veja in mixed martial arts, but Veja says padel is also a great sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say its probably the fastest-growing sport in Namibia right now, everybody is trying to get into padel. Nguvi just recently competed at the Davis Cup tennis tournament, so making that adjustment to padel is pretty easy, and I\u2019m just loving it, I\u2019m probably on the court three times a week if not more,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

In the semi-finals, the Hindas beat Pieter Steenkamp and Neil van Vuuren 7-6, 6-4, while Serdyn and Pienaar beat Alrich Jacobs and Rico Kreitz 6-4, 4-6, 7-5.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s final fortunes also swayed to and fro before Tattersall and Van der Berg emerged victorious, with a 1-6, 7-6, 6-2 victory against Hele Steenkamp and Antonia Kambouris.<\/p>\n

In the semi-finals, Tattersall and Van der Berg beat Daisy Nielsen and Ana Serratosa 6-0, 6-0, while Steenkamp and Kambouris beat Alessia Araujo and Katja Laborn 6-1, 6-1.<\/p>\n

A total of 31 teams competed in the men\u2019s draw and 16 teams in the women\u2019s draw.<\/p>\n

The Namibia Professional Padel League, meanwhile, received a further boost when Heineken announced a sponsorship on Thursday through its brand Heineken\u00ae 0.0.<\/p>\n

\u201cHeineken\u00ae 0.0 is proud to announce its partnership with the Namibia Professional Padel League, reinforcing the brand\u2019s ongoing commitment to the growth of padel globally as one of the world\u2019s fastest\u2010growing sports, and supporting the development of the game at both a social and professional level locally,\u201d it says in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough this collaboration, Heineken\u00ae 0.0 will support NPPL tournaments and events, offering players and fans a premium alcohol\u2010free option that fits seamlessly into active and social moments,\u201d it says.<\/p>\n
