Doha: The Gulf Padel Championship concludes today at Padel Inn courts in Doha, bringing an end to a thrilling edition hosted by the Qatar Tennis, Squash, Badminton, and Padel Federation, following several days of intense action and top-tier competition.

Qatar's men's team suffered their first defeat yesterday, falling 2-1 to the UAE in a closely-fought tie. Despite the setback, Qatar still has a chance to secure silver when they take on Bahrain today. The UAE, meanwhile, will meet Kuwait in a decisive clash to determine the gold medal winner, while Saudi Arabia face Oman in a placement match.

In the women's competition, Qatar lost 2-1 to Saudi Arabia, while the UAE cruised past Oman 3-0 and Kuwait defeated Bahrain by the same margin. Today's fixtures pit Qatar against Bahrain, Saudi Arabia against the UAE, and Kuwait against Oman. A victory for Kuwait would see them crowned champions.

The junior category also witnessed dramatic battles. Qatar lost narrowly to Kuwait 2-1, while Bahrain edged Oman by the same score and the UAE swept Saudi Arabia 3-0. Today's final round will decide the title, with Qatar facing Saudi Arabia, the UAE meeting Bahrain, and Kuwait playing Oman. A win for Kuwait would hand them the junior crown as well.
