Padel is played on an enclosed court with walls. Always in doubles (2v2) with 4 players total.
Same as tennis: 15, 30, 40, game. Matches are typically best of 3 sets to 6 games.
Underhand serve cross-court. Ball must bounce once before hitting the wall.
Ball can hit your walls after bouncing on the floor. Cannot hit opponent’s walls directly.
The padel court is 20m x 10m, enclosed by walls and mesh. The unique court design with walls adds a strategic element that does not exist in other racket sports.
