What is Padel?
Padel is a fast-growing, high-energy racquet sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. It is played exclusively as doubles on a glass-enclosed court about one-third the size of a tennis court. Unique to padel is the strategic use of walls, which allow the ball to rebound and add an exciting new dimension to rallies. Players use solid, stringless rackets and engage in fast-paced exchanges marked by precision, teamwork, and agility. With easy-to-learn rules and an emphasis on social and inclusive gameplay, padel has rapidly become one of the world’s most popular sports.
Padel fans are encouraged to book their tickets early on the District by Zomato mobile application or website to be part of the action at India’s biggest padel event. Don’t miss the chance to experience the fast-paced rallies, world-class talent, and electrifying atmosphere that make the World Padel League a must-watch spectacle.
