Sunday, 29 March 2026
Our first Friendly Cup of 2026 took place last Sunday, 29 March, and was a fantastic celebration of pickleball, bringing together 20 players across 10 mixed teams.
This edition of our flagship tournament was open to players rated up to 3.75 DUPR, making it a great fit for participants building their competitive experience. The Friendly Cup offered the perfect space to test their game and, in a few cases, their on-court chemistry as well, with several life partners teaming up together for the first time. We were especially excited to see so many new faces at ISP—and even more impressed by the level displayed throughout the day.
The matches kept getting better as the tournament progressed, with both the semifinals and finals delivering some truly exciting and competitive rallies. The event was full of great energy, teamwork, and spirit from start to finish.
A huge congratulations to our podium finishers:
🥇 Milan Vybiral & Lucie Dezertova
🥈 Massimo Bean & Zita Vasa
🥉 Sony Luong & Anna Van
A big thank you to ISP for their continued support, and to Emile Ares for organizing an impeccably run morning.
