Au padel, Australian serve means that each player maintains their predefined position on the pitch and will therefore keep it throughout the game, whether their team is serving or returning.

This allows you to be a full-fledged specialist on your side of the field and your role on the team.

Indeed, the player on the left for the right-handers will be more attacking, smasher most often including the balls in the middle of the court. On the left, he will be more defensive, will accompany the attacker in the construction of the point.

here are some Benefits of Australian service :

  • The player is at 100% focused on playing his side of the field and all that entails. It makes fewer mistakes because of knowing its positioning.
  • By serving the Australian, it is easier to cover the center of the field. It must quickly move to his side of the court but this advantage is very important.
  • It is necessary to follow the net very quickly to avoid leaving a corner of the court free to his opponents and to reduce the possible return angles for these.

Of course, the classic service also brings other benefits:

  • The physical expense is less important than to follow the net faster towards the opposite side.
  • In addition, there will be no parts of the field left behind and easily attainable for the opponents.
  • Finally, there are many players who like to be versatile on the field and swing between the more offensive position on the left and the more defensive / constructive right.

It's up to you to decide which is the best service for you!
