What is Padel Tennis?
Padel Tennis has been on the rise in South Africa over the past year. The sport stems from its sister sport of tennis, but the net is lower, the court is smaller, and there are no double lanes. Padel is typically played in doubles on an enclosed court roughly 25% smaller than the size of a tennis court. The main differences are that the court has walls and the balls can be played off them in a similar way as in the game of squash and that solid, stringless bats are used. The height of the ball being served must be at or below the waist level. Even though the format has singles games, the doubles format is predominantly the more popular format. The scoring method is the same as in tennis.
A Brief History of Padel Tennis
Padel tennis was introduced in Acapulco, Mexico, by Enrique Corcuera in 1969 when he adapted his Squash court at his home and included various elements of Platform Tennis which he called “Paddle Corcuera”. Enrique’s friend, Alfonso of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, played the new sport at Enrique’s home and loved it. He proceeded to create the first two Padel courts at a Tennis club in Spain in 1974 and he is considered the inventor of Padel. The sport is popular in Spain, Mexico, Italy and Andorra as well as several South American countries and it is spreading in many parts of Europe and North America.

Honorary Member Story
Graham Calder
Wanderers Member since 1963
The Wanderers First Eleven has always been one of the top sides in the Premier League. Having never picked up a hockey stick, I joined the hockey section in order to learn and to be trained by this
internationally trained player and coach. Because of this partnership, the section conducted many overseas tours to Spain and other European countries. There have been many Springboks and provincial players to have “come out” of the hockey section. I remained a member of the section up to 1983.
