KNOWING A BIT MORE ABOUT PADEL

THE SCORING
Padel rules are very similar to tennis rules, concretely the scoring is exactly the same. That means the points go up like that: 15, 30, 40 and game. In case of equality to 40 (deuce) the players need two points of difference to win this game. It happens the same in the tie-break, when the score is 6-6. The winner of the match will be the pair who get two sets before.

THE PLAY
All the points start with the service and the order is rotational, that is once every pair. The player who serves stands behind the line of service and he must bounce the ball on the ground before the beat/shoot with his/her racquet under the waist. This throw must be diagonally across the net and bounce in the opponent`s court (it`s allowed only one bounce); if the ball goes directly against the wall or the wire fencing, it would be wrong/fault.

THE COURT

The padel court is a rectangle of 20 m. long and 10 m. wide. It`s divided in the middle by a net of 90 cm. high. All the court is closed by a wall (made of glass or brick) and a fence next to the net. The height of the back wall is 3 m.

    

THE RACQUET
The racquet is made from light material. Its weight could be considered normal when it´s between 350 g and 380 g. Its surface is lighter and more manageable. The choice of a kind of racquet mostly depends on how the player prefers beating, with more control or with more strength. The racquet cannot be more than 45,5cm long, 26cm wide and 38mm thick.
