Craziness! Padel is so spectacular!
A combination of tennis and squash? Theoretically yes. In practice, padel tennis has long since developed its own profile.

The entry threshold for potential padel players may be significantly lower than in tennis, for example, but the sense of achievement on the court will definitely come sooner - but of course this does not mean that countless hours of training (and of course also some talent) are necessary. And when you talk about the best in the world, then you have to look at the World Padel Tour, which has been dominated by Spanish and Argentine players for years.
Athleticism, a good eye, lightning-fast reactions: that's what Padel is all about. No wonder that the grandstand seats at the big tournaments are usually full.
It's also amazing how much feeling the aces put into their shots - and that with a racket that, unlike a tennis racket, has no strings. And: It's not every day that a player leaves the court during a rally and takes part in the rally again a few moments later.
There is no doubt that the women are no less spectacular.
