A new era for rec tennis in Miami
All-Miami (powered by On, co-hosted by Miami Racket Club and Coach Gui Cunha) is built for the modern recreational player. Rather than the usual long waits and stiff formalities, this was fast play, energy, and atmosphere. Eighty players across divisions faced off in single-set elimination rounds—keeping momentum high and giving everyone more court time. Team points added a social twist, so you weren’t just chasing wins, you were part of a collective.
Between matches, players grabbed bites, met new faces, and soaked in live music and local flavor. The day culminated in a happy hour (sponsored by Gladiator Tennis) during the finals—where our signature Gladiator Smash took center stage. It was the perfect way to cap off an event that values both sport and style.
A Gladiator flare
We were honored to sponsor the happy hour that capped the day — welcoming finalists, players, and spectators to gather courtside. Our signature drink, the Gladiator Smash, became the toast of the evening — a refreshing nod to our brand’s ethos of strong, bold, and social.
It served as a moment for players to mingle, swap stories, and stay in the vibe even after their matches ended. Many players lingered, laughed, and connected — just what we hoped for.
We also deployed a small courtside presence promoting Gladiator Tennis leagues in Miami, handing out branded merch, holding a raffle for a free year of tennis and inviting onlookers to join our network of rec players.
Highlights, buzz, and player love
On Instagram, All Miami’s official feed and participants celebrated the event as “where tennis meets community” with rec players praising the vibe, curated touches, and pace of play.
Players commented that this felt more like a festival or lifestyle gathering than a stiff bracket contest. That’s exactly the blend we wanted to champion with Gladiator Tennis.
