Singapore’s APPT Platinum Weekend Brings a $20,000 Professional Prize Fund

The APPT Love All Grand Slam Platinum Singapore runs from 11 to 13 September 2026, with US$20,000 in professional prize money listed by the organiser. Love All – Padel & Pickleball hosts the event at Grace Orchard School on West Coast Road, placing professional and amateur competition within one weekend programme.

The prize fund is divided into US$15,000 for the men’s professional competition and US$5,000 for the women’s. Those totals describe the advertised professional allocation, while the event also includes other categories with their own competition and awards.

A field with recognisable regional names

The published men’s list places Eduard Altimires Ros and Adria Mercadal Berenguer as the leading seeds. Marc Bernils and Carlos Martí Vaño appear next, with Martín Ariel Andornino and Juan Carlos Gama González also among the listed seeded partnerships.

Those names give followers a starting point for the title race, but seedings establish the draw’s order rather than its result. Each partnership still needs to win the matches on its route, and a familiar tour record does not remove the challenge of the current opposition.

The regional context can make the combinations interesting. Players may arrive after competing together elsewhere or form a different pairing for this event. Their individual experience supplies background, while the way the two games interact determines the performance on court.

For a spectator, following both partners reveals that interaction. The player finishing a point often benefits from an earlier shot or movement by the person beside them. The title race is built through that repeated cooperation, rather than through isolated highlights alone.

Several levels share the weekend

The organiser advertises professional men’s, women’s and mixed categories, amateur levels and a men’s senior category over 45. The full programme therefore reaches beyond the professional prize fund, creating separate sporting objectives for different entrants.

A well-matched amateur contest can be an important competitive reference. Players have to maintain their ordinary level under pressure, respond to an unfamiliar style and keep their partnership organised as the score changes. The demands are meaningful within the category even when the pace differs from professional play.

The senior programme offers another route for an age-defined group. Across categories, the purpose remains similar: provide a structured field in which pairs can pursue a result against appropriate opposition. That creates several reasons to follow the weekend, from a friend’s amateur appearance to the later rounds of the strongest professional draw on the programme.

The published play order places professional main-draw and amateur action on Saturday, followed by semi-finals and finals on Sunday. Individual appointments belong to the current daily schedule, which is the practical reference for following a particular pair.

Singapore in a busy regional period

The event overlaps with Phuket’s FIP Bronze weekend, while Bangkok’s FIP Silver follows later in September. These competitions belong to different circuits and offer different entry conditions, but together they show several active regional destinations for players to consider.

For an individual partnership, the choice depends on eligibility, level and the sporting objective of the trip. A calendar can present several possibilities without making it realistic or appropriate to enter all of them.

Singapore’s Platinum event has its own established identity through Love All, the 11–13 September dates and the professional prize allocation. The draw provides the next layer, connecting those details with actual partnerships and opponents.

As the weekend moves towards Sunday’s finals, the most useful story will be the results produced within each category. The leading seeds supply expectations, the amateur and senior draws widen participation, and the shared venue brings the programme together. The players will determine which combinations turn their Singapore appearance into a title, giving the advertised prize fund and event label a concrete sporting outcome through the matches that decide the trophies.
