How Padel Was Born

Padel was born in Mexico in the '60s thanks to entrepreneur Enrique Corcuera, who built a tennis court in his Acapulco villa, on a plot of twenty by ten meters, which he surrounded with four walls to prevent balls from ending up in neighboring properties. This led players to naturally hit the balls after they bounced off the walls. From there, the sport began to spread rapidly in Spain and Argentina, where it has reached unprecedented popularity, and in recent years also in Europe, including Italy.
