A new sports club in New York, a new hotspot for billionaires and athletes

So this is Gordon Gekko’s place he would take Bud Fox around 2024 to teach him a lesson.

We hear that Manhattan’s inaugural padel club has become a popular hangout for billionaires and sports stars. Padel (pronounced bye-Dell) is a bit like pickleball – but its enthusiasts would bristle at the mention, claiming it is more serious and combines the skills of squash and tennis.

Reserve is the Hudson Yards outpost of billionaire Wayne Boich’s popular Miami padel spot, where players include Formula One stars Lando Norris and Max Verstappen, Andre Agassi, David Beckham, Derek Jeter and Jimmy Butler.

We hear the New York location has attracted the likes of billionaire hedge funder Daniel Sundheim and top legal eagle Perry Weitz.

“You can’t get a court,” said one recent convert to the game, adding: “Padel is supposed to be pickleball, just like freebase is in Sanca.”

A billionaire lifestyle student told us it’s so hot: “I wouldn’t be surprised if your own padel court on the roof of the townhouse was new swimming pool in the basement”

Related former professional squash player Jordan Brail is Director of the Reserveand we hear that he brings top-class talent to the courts.

NBA star Butler said: “Padel complements my basketball skills mentally… Physically it’s about endurance, ankle stability and changing pace and direction.

Last year, The Post reported that more than 25 million people worldwide participate in the sport, and padel is the fastest-growing sport in Europe and South America.

Lionel Messi and Dwyane Wade are also devotees, and tennis stars Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic have given it a try.
