The rising popularity of padel tennis in Indonesia has apparently opened up a new business opportunity for celebrity couple Rezky Aditya and Citra Kirana. Starting from their personal experience of often having difficulty booking courts because they were always full, they have now decided to invest by building their own padel facility.
Rezky revealed that the high public enthusiasm for padel triggered a surge in demand that has not yet been matched by the availability of adequate facilities. Seeing the continuously growing market potential, investing in this sports facility sector is felt to be a strategic step as well as a form of tangible support for the development of the sport in the country.
Rezky's commitment to this sport is not limited to business ownership. He also actively participates in various tournaments to expand relations within the padel community. According to him, the community aspect plays a crucial role both in honing playing skills and expanding business networks.
The couple's presence in the padel arena will be seen again in a celebrity exhibition match at the final round of the Smash League 2026 tournament. The match, initiated by RANS, is scheduled to take place on August 22, 2026, at RAARA House Padel Andara, where Rezky and Citra will challenge the couple Teuku Wisnu and Shireen Sungkar.
The Smash League 2026 tournament itself has been running since July 18, 2026, involving around 1,000 participants from various elements of society. In addition to tight competition on the court, this event is also enlivened by a number of other national celebrities, confirming that padel has now transformed from a mere lifestyle trend into a promising sports industry.
