Padel court

Padel is a sport similar to tennis, originated in Mexico and popular in Spain and Latin American countries. Here are the rules of Padel:

1. Court: Padel matches are usually played on a closed rectangular court, with dimensions of 10 meters × 20 meters, and a low glass wall in the middle.

2. Racket: Padel uses a short-handled racket, similar to a tennis racket but smaller. The racket has holes to reduce air resistance.

3. Ball: Padel uses a ball similar to a tennis ball, but slightly smaller.

4. Doubles: Padel is typically played as a doubles match, with two players per team. Each team takes turns serving, and the serving team stands on the right side of the court.

5. Serve: The serve must be made from the right side of the court, and the ball must land in the diagonal area between the baseline and the side wall. The ball must first hit the ground before hitting the opponent's court.

6. Return: Players must hit the ball back to the opponent's court in one bounce. The ball can hit the side wall or the glass wall, but not the top glass wall.

7. Rebound: After hitting the side wall or the glass wall, the ball can rebound once before being hit back to the opponent's court.

8. In-court: There is a non-active area inside the court, and if the ball hits the ground or the wall within this area, it is considered out of bounds.

9. Scoring: The scoring system is similar to tennis, using 15, 30, 40, and game point. A team can win a game if they reach 40 points and are ahead by 10 points.

10. Rules: Padel has some specific rules, such as the ball being allowed to directly hit the glass wall after the serve, and the ball remaining in play if it hits the net.
