The inaugural Hexagon Cup took place in Madrid earlier this year and was launched by founders Enrique Buenaventura, Simon Freer, Alejandro Agag, and Alberto Longo, who are well-known for having founded Formula E, the Extreme E electric off-road racing series, and the E1 all-electric powerboating competition.
The event is described as padel’s first World Cup for private teams. It features men’s and women’s players competing in teams for an equal prize fund of €1 million ($1.09 million).
Owners of the six Hexagon Cup franchises include tennis stars Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal's academy, soccer player Robert Lewandowski, and Hollywood actress Eva Longoria.
