NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Pro Padel League (PPL), the world's top professional padel league with 10 teams in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, today unveiled its 2025 season schedule, expanding the league's event footprint across North America and into Europe.
Following a successful inaugural 2024 season, which featured events in Miami, San Diego, and New York, 2025 will see the PPL go international for the first time with events in San Sebastián, Spain and Guadalajara, Mexico. The first serve of the season will take place on June 19 at the home of Unrivaled basketball league, Wayfair Arena, a world-class venue on the campus of Mediapro's state-of-the-art production facilities in Miami.
'This schedule is a defining moment in our journey,' said PPL CEO Mike Dorfman. 'With Spain being the heart of the international padel scene, and Mexico, the birthplace of padel and home to one of our most passionate fanbases, our 2025 season isn't just expanding — it's going global.
'Our opening event at the home of Unrivaled, the newest women's professional basketball league, is purposeful. Wayfair Arena is a cutting-edge venue that will provide an epic in-arena experience for our fans, but equally important is the direct connection to women's sports as the PPL is the epitome of a modern sports league. We are growing the sport of padel globally to the benefit of the best players in the world – regardless of gender – and will engage and inspire a new generation of fandom.'
The PPL curated a roster of world-class host cities renowned for their vibrant cultures that set trends in fashion, music, food, art, and fitness, and align with the lifestyle of padel and the PPL brand culminating in New York with the PPL City's Cup. The schedule is as follows:

The PPL season will include men's, women's and overall team standings determined by total points accumulated. Points are awarded based on the finishing position in the men's and women's divisions at each event. Overall team points at each event will be the sum of a team's men's and women's points earned.
PPL Regular Season Event Points System:
The top eight teams in the overall points standings at the end of the regular season will see its men's and women's teams qualify for the PPL City's Cup, a single-elimination playoff to determine the champion for each division and an overall champion based on total points accumulated.
Additionally, the league will host its first-ever PPL All-Star Festival in The Hamptons (August 30-September 1), featuring Pro-Ams, celebrity exhibitions, and local community clinics.

Triple-I: US Personal Auto Insurance Industry Generates Profitable Underwriting Result but Faces Headwinds Due to Legal System Abuse, Regulatory Environment
MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The United States personal auto insurance industry achieved its strongest underwriting performance in the post-pandemic era, recording a net combined ratio of 95.3 in 2024, but continues to face headwinds due to escalating legal system abuse and a challenging regulatory environment, according to a new Issues Brief published today by the Insurance Information Institute (Triple-I). "The growing impacts of legal system abuse, driven by the exploitive tactics of billboard attorneys, combined with an increasingly complex regulatory environment, will continue to put pressure on the market." 'While the improved 2024 underwriting performance is encouraging, we remain focused on several challenges facing the personal auto insurance industry,' said Triple-I CEO Sean Kevelighan. 'The growing impacts of legal system abuse, driven by the exploitive tactics of billboard attorneys, combined with an increasingly complex regulatory environment, will continue to put pressure on the market. It's essential for auto insurers to continue managing these evolving risks effectively to sustain profitable growth.' Key Performance Highlights Triple-I's Issues Brief showed the personal auto insurance sector's improvement across multiple metrics in 2024: Premium Growth: The industry maintained robust growth momentum with a net written premium increase of 12.8% in 2024, following 14.4% growth in 2023. This marks two consecutive years of double-digit premium growth, outpacing the broader U.S. property/casualty (P/C) industry for the second consecutive year. Loss Performance: Direct incurred loss ratios improved dramatically, falling 21.7 percentage points from a peak of 86% in Q4 2022 to 64% by the end of 2024. This substantial improvement reflects the industry's successful efforts to align pricing with risk and implement effective loss control measures. Historical Context: The personal auto line has outperformed the net combined ratio of the overall U.S. P/C industry in 10 of the past 20 years since 2005. Ongoing Challenges and Emerging Risks Despite 2024's improved financial performance, the industry continues to face significant headwinds which could impact future results: Legal System Abuse: Increased billboard attorney involvement in claims and larger jury awards drove auto liability losses and defense and cost containment expenses up by a range of $76.3 billion to $81.3 billion from 2014 to 2023, according to a 2024 Triple-I/Casualty Actuarial Society study. Regulatory Environment: State regulatory processes have become increasingly challenging, with approval timeframes for rate filings growing 40% longer from 2010 to 2023. Additionally, the percentage of filings receiving less rate impact than requested by carriers has increased by 10 percentage points, potentially limiting market availability and competitive pricing. Frequency vs. Severity Trends: While claim frequency remains below pre-pandemic levels, severity continues to rise year-over-year, with pure premium trends increasing cumulatively by 25.0 points from 2019 to 2024.
