What is Padel Tennis? A Beginner’s Guide

Padel tennis is a fast-paced racket sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. Played on a smaller enclosed court, padel is usually played in doubles, using solid paddles and a low-compression tennis ball.


Originating in Mexico in the 1960s, padel has now become a global sensation, especially in Spain, the Middle East, and Europe.
