Padel: A Combination of Tennis and Squash

Padel is a captivating fusion of tennis and squash played on a smaller court and enclosed by glass panels and metallic fencing. This predominantly doubles sport borrows rules from tennis, such as serving into designated blocks and using the same point system. It also integrates elements of squash, allowing players to capitalize on glass panels and metallic fences during gameplay.
