Origins of Padel Tennis
Padel Tennis, a racquet sport that combines elements of tennis, squash, and racquetball, traces its origins back to Mexico in 1969. It was invented by Enrique Corcuera, who adapted his squash court, creating a smaller playing area surrounded by walls, which are integral to the game's dynamics. This innovation led to a sport that is easier to pick up and less physically demanding than traditional tennis, making it accessible and enjoyable for a wider range of ages and skill levels. Padel Tennis has surged in popularity recently, especially in Europe and Latin America, due to its social nature, the strategic depth offered by the use of walls in play, and its suitability for both competitive and recreational play. Its rise in popularity is also fueled by increased media exposure, celebrity endorsements, and the growth of dedicated padel facilities
Did you know?
A fun trivia fact about Padel Tennis is that despite its global popularity today, it was initially invented almost by accident. Enrique Corcuera, the Mexican businessman credited with creating Padel Tennis in 1969, didn't set out to invent a new sport. Instead, he modified his home's squash court to fit within the confines of his backyard by adding walls and using a perforated paddle instead of a strung racquet.
