A Beginner's Guide to the Rules of Padel Tennis


Padel Tennis, a sport that perfectly blends elements of tennis and squash, has been taking the world by storm, especially in European cities like Berlin. If you're new to this racquet sport and eager to understand its rules before hitting the court, you've come to the right place. Moreover, for those in Berlin, TIO TIO Padel courts are positioning themselves as the ultimate urban sports destination for Padel enthusiasts. But before diving into where you should play, let's unravel the basics of Padel tennis rules.

 

1. The Court Dimensions and Structure

The Padel court is rectangular, measuring 10 meters in width and 20 meters in length. Unique to Padel, the court is enclosed by walls, with a meshed fencing in specific sections. This design allows players to use the walls, similar to squash, during gameplay.

2. Scoring System

Much like tennis, Padel uses the traditional 15, 30, 40, and game scoring system. If both players or teams reach 40-40, it's termed as a 'deuce', and one side must win by two clear points to secure the game.

3. Serving

  • The serve must be underhand and diagonally.

  • The server must bounce the ball within their serving box and strike it below the waist.

  • The receiving team can return the serve after one bounce or directly in the air.

4. Ball Play

  • After serving, the ball must bounce in the opponent's side before hitting the fence or wall.

  • Players can use the walls to return the ball, but it must bounce on their side first.

  • If the ball hits the wire mesh or walls directly without bouncing, it is considered out.

5. Match Format

A standard Padel match is the best of three sets. If players split the first two sets, a third set is played to determine the winner.

6. Player Positions

Padel can be played in singles or doubles. However, doubles is the more popular and traditional format.
