My Favorite Sport: Padel

My favorite sport is Padel, and I believe that it will become one of the most important sports in a few years.

It is played in doubles (two against two), just like doubles tennis. The court, which measures 10 by 20 meters, is smaller than a tennis court and is enclosed by walls. It is made of artificial grass. To play, you need specific equipment:

• Padel shoes (which are the same as tennis shoes)
• Padel balls
