Padel is a racquet sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. Played on an enclosed court about one-third the size of a tennis court, padel is popular in countries like Spain and Argentina. The game is mainly played in doubles and is characterized by walls surrounding the court, allowing the ball to be played off them, similar to squash. This unique feature adds an interesting dimension to the sport, demanding quick reflexes and strategic play.
