Team Qatar continues Winning Run at Gulf Padel Championship

DOHA - The Qatar Men's Padel Team continued their impressive run at the Gulf Padel Championship, securing their third straight win in front of a home crowd with a hard-fought 2–1 triumph over Kuwait on Wednesday evening in Doha.

The evening opened with a stellar performance from Qatari duo Rashid Nawaf and Meshari Nawaf, who made quick work of Kuwait’s Hussein Shmais and Abdulrahman Al-Awadi. With precision and power, the Nawaf pair cruised through in straight sets, 6–2, 6–3, giving Qatar an early lead.

However, Kuwait was not ready to back down. In a fiercely contested second match, Fouad Behbehani and Abdulaziz Reda mounted a strong comeback against Qatar’s Mohammed Al Khenji and Khalid Saadon. After dropping the first set, the Kuwaiti pair rallied to claim the next two, 4–6, 6–2, 6–3, evening the tie at one match apiece.

With the pressure mounting, the decisive third match saw Qatar’s Mohammed Saadon and Hassan Wali rise to the occasion in dominant fashion. They overpowered Kuwait’s Mohammed Abdullah and Hammoud Al Junaidel in a clinical 6–1, 6–2 display, sealing the overall victory and igniting celebrations among the home supporters.

Following the match, Mohammed Al Roumi, head of the Kuwaiti delegation, lauded the tournament’s quality and competitive spirit. “This championship has been one of the finest in the region—both in organization and atmosphere. It truly embodies the unity and sportsmanship of the Gulf,” he said.

Al Roumi went on to praise Qatar and the Qatar Padel Federation for their world-class hospitality and seamless execution of the event. “Once again, Qatar has proven itself as a premier destination for international sporting events,” he added.
