Latin America's original racket game, Padel, is now a worldwide sport. It is played as a doubles game in which two people face off in matches. A match is divided into 3 sets. The winner is the team that has won 2 sets. In some cases, a tie-break may be required to decide the set.
Six games are played by each team in a set. If a match goes to a tie-break, it is considered a draw. The tie-break ends with the winner playing the final set. A team can win if it has a clear advantage.
The game is played in a court measuring ten meters long. The perimeter of the court is four meters high and enclosed by a metal fence. These walls can be made from concrete, glass or steel mesh.
Padel balls look a lot like green-dotted golf balls. They are made of rubber, and weigh between 56.4 and 59.4g. They are between 6.35 to 6.77 cm in diameter. Padel balls cannot bounce twice, as in Tennis. To score a point, the ball must contact the floor once and the wire fencing once.
Both teams must conduct a five-minute warmup before the game. Then, there is a coin toss. To begin, the winner will choose the end of court.
At the start of a match, both players must serve underhand. Depending on the style of play, a server can either hit a static serve, or perform a dynamic serve. A service that is underhand must be of low quality and add no topspin.
The serve must be made under the arm, and must go diagonally into the opponent’s court. Another option is to use a backhand service. Professional players may use a backhand serve to alter the game's rhythm.
Padel is an intense game that requires a lot mental and physical stamina. You should be fit to play Padel.
The first step to winning a Padel match is to learn the rules and the scoring system. Similar to the tennis scoring system, the scoring system for Padel matches is also similar. Points can be scored in increments of fifteen, thirty or forty points and are added up by an advantage. To win the game, a team leading by 40-40 points will have to win the next two points. In case of a tie-break, the player who serves first will receive the first ball.
Padel players can also smash or volley the ball. The defender is responsible for making sure that the ball stays out of the air. The defender must ensure that the ball doesn't leave the court. Occasionally, the ball can hit the wall or another part of the court.
In addition to a good serve, a padel player must also maintain good speed and accuracy. Many players make it difficult to serve, but it is still essential to be able to do a simple serve. It is important to remember that a padel players must always return the ball back to the opposing team.
