"Let me introduce myself, I am Tantri who is getting into padel, every time someone messages me, 'Tan, there's a court, let's go!' All schedules get canceled because it's hard to find a court, even though I'm still new and mostly just retrieving balls instead of hitting them, but honestly, padel is fun. @chuakotak let's COACH!!" wrote Tantri.

Padel was first played in 1969 in Acapulco, Mexico by Enrique Corcuera, who combined elements of tennis and squash. In 1974, Corcuera's friend Alfonso brought this sport to Spain and began popularizing it with some modifications.

The main difference between padel and tennis is the smaller court (10x20 meters), surrounded by glass walls that can be used to bounce the ball, as well as the solid padel racket without strings. Padel balls are similar to tennis balls but with lower pressure, and the game is played in teams (doubles).
