The Alborán · the weekly dispatch
A short dispatch from the club, every Monday: what we noticed, the padel worth watching, and what has just gone up on The Alborán. The women's game leads.
What this is
The Circuit is the weekly dispatch, the letter the club sends its members while the monthly issue is being made. It is written the Monday morning it goes out.
It is a note, not a scoreboard: the padel week read through our own eyes, and the women's Court leads.
