Padel (Spanish: pádel) is a racket sport typically played in doubles on an enclosed court slightly smaller than a doubles tennis court. It has the same scoring system as tennis, but different rules, strokes, and technique. The balls are similar and softer. The bats are solid (without strings). Balls can be played off the court walls, similar to squash. A service must place the ball at or below the waist level. Padel originated in Mexico. As of 2023, there were more than 25 million active players in more than 90 countries, according to the International Padel Federation (FIP).
