The game starts with player 1 bouncing the ball on the ground before serving. The serve must be done underhand and the ball cannot be hit above waist height, which is different from regular tennis.
Each player serves for one set at a time.
The ball is allowed to bounce once on each player’s side of the court. The ball can hit the walls multiple times during play, as long as it only bounces once on the ground each time it crosses the net.
The ball must always bounce on the ground before it can hit the walls.
Scoring is the same as in regular tennis.
Padel is played with normal indoor sports shoes.
Unlike tennis, a smash isn’t always an advantage in padel. Clever shots and lobs are often more effective and tricky for your opponent.
