How did this all begin?

A couple of years ago, we were visited by our cousins from Rome. During a family BBQ, as we brainstormed ideas for a fun night out, one cousin mentioned his favorite pastime back home: playing a sport called Padel tennis.

We all exchanged confused glances, as if he’d just made an unexpected proposal.

“What on earth is Padel?” we asked. He returned our bewildered stares with equal disbelief.

“Are you serious?” he replied. He proceeded to explain the game, outlining its rules and emphasizing its popularity in Rome and across Europe. As passionate Serie A and Premier League fans and sports fans, we were stunned that we had never even heard of this sport.

Could it really be as popular as he claimed?

Curiosity piqued, he showed us some Padel match videos. The sport appeared to be an intriguing blend of tennis and squash—two games I’d enjoyed in my younger days. Enthusiastically, we all agreed to book a court and try it out.

The first surprise came when we struggled to find an available Padel court in Sydney at a reasonable time. The peak hours on weeknights were booked solid, so we had to settle for a 9 p.m. slot on a Monday, embracing our middle-aged spontaneity.

Over the next few days, all eight of us dove into Padel training videos, learning the rules and strategies. We were floored by how big this sport really was.

The night of our game arrived, filled with excitement and a hint of nervous energy. We stepped onto the court—and a 2 years later, all eight of us are still playing Padel a couple of times a week. We’ve become regulars, snatching any available time slot to wield a racket and hit a ball that has just a fraction of the bounce of a standard tennis ball.
