Played within an enclosed space akin to squash, it features a net like tennis.
Players aim to pass the ball over the net using their racquets. What sets padel apart is its unique use of walls or fences; players can strategically hit the ball after it bounces off these surfaces to keep it in play. Padel is typically played in doubles, reflecting the game's social roots, though it can also be enjoyed individually.Padel uses a shorter 88-cm net for underhand serves, maintaining the familiar mechanics of a race to 6 with a 15-30-40 scoring ladder, exclusively played in doubles.
