ABOUT PADEL

Padel was born way back in 1969 in Mexico

When Mr. Enrique Corcuera, a tennis enthusiast and resident of Las Brisas, a posh neighborhood in Acapulco, realized that there was not enough space in his property to build a full tennis court and decided to create a smaller version: a 20×10 meters tennis court surrounded by 3 meter walls all arround and a tennis net in the middle. That was padel’s first court in the whole world. He design rustic wood padles and started inviting people to play the sport. A rulebook was eventually developed and two of his guests, spanish Prince Alfonso de Hohenhole and artentinian Julio Menditeguy (the owner and an argentinian member of the The Marbella Tennis Club in Andalucía, respectively) were introduced to the sport, exporting the game to Spain and to Argentina in the early 70s. Soon enough, courts started to grow in numbers in other countries like Uruguay, Mexico and others.

In 1989, the first all-glass movable court was introduced and in 1992 and the first World Padel Championships were played in Spain.

Professional and amateur padel has grown exponentially all over around the world. Today, the WPT plays 24 tournaments a year in 16 different countries and in 2025, 87 country federations are afiliated to the Federacion Internacional de Padel, the sport is practiced in more than 140 countries and there are around 30 million padel amateur players.

Padel is definitively the fastest growing sport and the future raquet sport, since it is played all around the globe; to have an estimate: 5 million people play pickleball and 17 million play tennis, against a whoping +30 million playing padel.
