As Dream Properties Valencia, of course we love the Spanish culture and love to engage in it. We also think it is important to keep moving in order to enjoy life in Spain in the best of health. Padel is a hugely popular sport in Spain and by sponsoring two padel professionals in Spain we are happy to encourage this popular sport.
What is padel?
The sport of padel is very popular among Spaniards, but also increasingly in other European countries. For those who have never heard of padel, here’s a little crash course!
Padel is a mix between tennis and squash and is played on a rectangular court. You play it with four players, two against two. The court is a lot smaller than a tennis court and while playing, you make use of the walls that surround the court, often a combination of glass/wall and fencing. In this sport, strength is less important, making it more accessible to all ages.
Padel uses exactly the same scoring system as tennis. The only difference is that in padel you usually play in a ‘best of three sets’ format, where the first team to win two sets wins the match. If the score is 1-1 after two sets, a decisive third set is played to determine the winner of the match.
Dream Properties as sponsor
We have come in touch with two top talents from the Valencia region who deserve extra support. The young players of this padel duo are among the best in the Comunidad Valenciana and travel all over the world to play important tournaments and climb even higher.
Who are these top players in padel?
