OSS, Netherlands – The Dreumex Open Osse Racket Masters, a unique tournament challenging participants across four racket sports – tennis, padel, table tennis, and badminton – is set to return to the Dutch city of Oss on July 4th and 5th, 2026. Following a successful inaugural event in 2025, the tournament promises a weekend of competitive play and camaraderie for athletes of all levels.
Organized by a collaboration between local sports clubs TOZ (Tennis and Padel), OTTC (Table Tennis), and BCOss (Badminton), the Dreumex Open Osse Racket Masters distinguishes itself from traditional racket sports tournaments by featuring exclusively doubles play across all four disciplines. According to organizers, there is currently no comparable event in the Netherlands combining these sports in this format. “It creates a sporty and convivial weekend where players from different sports meet each other,” they stated.
The tournament will unfold across two locations: the TOZ sports complex, hosting tennis and padel matches, and Sportzaal Ussenstelt, which will be the venue for badminton and table tennis. Participants can expect to move between the two locations throughout the competition. This logistical element adds a unique dimension to the event, requiring adaptability and strategic energy management.
What makes this tournament particularly noteworthy is its departure from the conventional format of combining squash with singles play. The organizers opted to include the rapidly growing sport of padel instead of squash, reflecting its increasing popularity within the Netherlands and beyond. This decision, coupled with the doubles-only format, contributes to the tournament’s distinctive appeal.
Before the main event, a free clinic will be held on Saturday, May 30th, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Interested individuals can participate in introductory sessions for each of the four racket sports at TOZ, OTTC, and BCOss, providing an opportunity to learn the basics or refine existing skills. Clinics will be held at OTTC (Macharenseweg 24), BCOss (Sportzaal Ussenstelt, Looveltlaan 54), and TOZ (Sportpark Hoogheuvelstraat 75).
Registration for the tournament is open to anyone aged 16 and older, regardless of club affiliation or skill level. Participants can register as a team or individually, with individual registrants being paired with a partner through a lottery system. The entry fee is €12.50 per person or €25 per team, payable via a one-time authorization shortly before the tournament. The tournament is capped at 48 teams, encouraging early registration.
The competition will be structured as a pool play format over two days, with both winners’ and losers’ rounds. Each match will consist of a single set lasting 15 minutes, with the highest score determining the winner. A win awards two points, a draw one point, and a loss no points. Serving will occur every two points. In the event of a tie in match points, the score difference will serve as the tiebreaker. Each participating duo will play a total of 16 matches over the course of the weekend.
The Dreumex Open Osse Racket Masters benefits from the support of several key sponsors, including title sponsor Dreumex B.V., the municipality of Oss, and Zorba de Griek Oss. Organizers expressed gratitude for this support, noting that it has helped establish the tournament as a fixture on the Oss sporting calendar. “Together, we show that Oss is a city of sport with courage and creativity,” they said.
Registration can be completed through the tournament website or by scanning the provided QR code. Interested individuals with questions can contact the organizers at 4racketmaster@tt-ottc.nl.
The tournament’s emphasis on doubles play and the inclusion of padel alongside more established racket sports like tennis and badminton highlight a forward-thinking approach to sports competition. The format encourages social interaction and provides a platform for athletes from different disciplines to test their skills in a variety of settings. For those unfamiliar with the nuances of padel, it’s a racket sport played on a smaller court enclosed by glass and metal mesh, allowing for strategic use of the walls. It’s a rapidly growing sport, particularly in Europe and South America, known for its accessibility and dynamic gameplay.
The Dreumex Open Osse Racket Masters isn’t just about competition; it’s about fostering a sense of community and promoting a healthy lifestyle. The tournament’s organizers emphasize the importance of hygiene in sports, particularly given the shared use of equipment. Maintaining distance and properly cleaning rackets and balls are crucial steps in preventing the spread of germs.
Looking ahead, the next confirmed checkpoint for those interested in participating is the registration deadline. With a limited number of spots available, prospective players are encouraged to register promptly to secure their place in this unique and exciting event. The tournament promises a thrilling weekend of competition, camaraderie, and a celebration of racket sports in the heart of the Netherlands.
