MATCHi

Kick off the season with a thriving community!

Player communities have been live in the app for little over a month. A social space where you can find and communicate with likeminded players.

If you haven't checked out the feature yet, now's the time. It's a good way to find new players, keep up with your level, and see what's happening at your venue, all in one feed.

Your venue decides which communities exist. Invited to one? Jump in. Missing one you'd love to see? Ask them to create it 🤝

Plot twist: the players who stick around longest aren't the ones playing more of the same sport. They're the ones who tried a second one.

Tennis one week, padel the next. Or the other way round. Same love of racket sports, more reasons to show up.

If you've been meaning to try the court next door, this is your sign 🎾

Ever wondered how long a tennis match actually takes? 🎾

Best-of-3? Around 90 minutes. Best-of-5? Closer to 2 hours 45.
The fastest pro match ever clocked in at just 20 minutes. The longest? An almost unbelievable 11 hours and 5 minutes.

Next time your match runs long, just remember: it could always be longer.

Welcome back, World of Padel! 🎾
We’re thrilled to have you back on the MATCHi platform.
Book your courts from August 1st!

Padel and tennis tend to be the headline act on MATCHi. But scroll further down the leaderboard and there's a proper racket sports party going on 🎉

Over the last 12 months: badminton clocked 350,000+ games, squash close behind at 100,000+, table tennis at 50,000+, and pickleball at 20,000+.

Different racket, same love. Whatever's strung and swung, we're glad you're playing it here 🎾

Padel's having a moment in Belgium and Australia 🎾🇧🇪🇦🇺

Sign-ups are up 77% in Belgium and 150% in Australia this past year. Some of the fastest growth we're seeing anywhere right now.

Everyone's talking about the UK these days. But these two have been quietly filling courts and building community right alongside it.

If you're playing in Belgium or Australia, tell us, does this match what you're seeing at your local courts?

There's a version of summer that isn't about doing more. It's about a match that doesn't feel like a chore, a court that doesn't need floodlights yet, and the kind of tired you actually enjoy at the end of the day.

Some of the best memories of the year happen on a court, with people who make it feel easy.

Here's to more of those evenings. Where are you playing this week? 🎾☀️

Racket sports just keep growing, boom or no boom 📈

Right now, more than 1,000 new players are signing up every week in Sweden, Norway, and the UK. Some weeks in Sweden and the UK, it's closer to 2,000.

Different stages, different sized markets, same thing happening everywhere: more people picking up a racket than putting one down.

Wherever you're playing this week, you're in good company 🎾
