Padel is the fastest growing sport across continental Europe, and the rise of padel tennis has been monumental, especially in Spain who record around 6-7 million active players alone. Padel is almost always played in doubles. The courts, about 25% smaller than tennis courts, are surrounded almost entirely by walls, part glass and part metal mesh. Unlike in tennis, the ball remains playable if, after being hit on the ground, it then hits the wall.
Padel is also growing in South Africa. In January 2021, Tennis South Africa accepted the South African Padel Association (SAPA) as an associate member of the Federation and there are now courts across the country where people play.
