Youp de Kroon and Julian Prins crowned champions at the 2025 Dutch Padel Championships
The tension was palpable, the crowd was ecstatic, and the atmosphere was unprecedented. The EY NK Padel in Eindhoven had a dream final and a dream winner on Sunday. Youp de Kroon and Julian Prins, seeded third, impressively clinched the national title. In a thrilling final, they defeated none other than defending champions Bram Meijer and Sten Richters, bringing their strong tournament to a glorious conclusion.
In front of a sold-out centre court at the Vibes Urban Sports & Events Centre, De Kroon and Prins showed their class and determination. In a high-level match, in which the audience was treated to beautiful rallies and exciting moments, they came out on top with a score of 6-3, 6-7, and 6-1. After an evenly matched second set and a decisive third set with a double break, it was clear: the new champions had emerged.
The victory of Youp de Kroon and Julian Prins is not only a surprise, but above all a reward for their perseverance, talent, and growth as a team. After losing two finals in previous editions, this title feels extra special—third time's the charm. The 2025 Dutch Padel Championships therefore mark a real milestone in their careers, and who knows, this may just be the beginning of many more great things to come.
