Playing padel tennis
ABOUT:
Padel is a racket sport of Mexican origin, invented in the late 1960s and is currently the fastest growing sport in the world. The game has the same scoring as tennis however the style is played in a similar way to squash. The rackets are smaller than tennis rackets with a carbon fiber frame and a solid carbon fiber face. The balls are slightly softer than tennis balls creating less pressure.
THE RULES:
Serving: Players serve underarm from behind the service line, aiming to land in the opposing diagonal service box. Before returning the ball, it must bounce. The serve is out if it bounces and hits the cage area but in if it bounces and hits the glass (back or side). The serve is out if it hits the cage or glass without bouncing. If the serve hits the net before landing in the service ball, it is a let and you must replay the serve. Players get 2 serves
Wall Rules: You can let the ball bounce and hit the glass wall before hitting it back If the ball bounces and hits the cage, that is also in and you have to attempt to hit the rebound You can hit the ball against the glass wall on your side first to try and land it on your opponent's side of the court If you try hit the cage on your side first that is not allowed When over the net, if the ball hits the glass wall or cage first before bouncing, that is out Other times the ball is out: The ball hits your teammate during play The ball bounced twice in any area on your side of the court before you hit it
