The decisive point at padel is the new find of World Padel Tour. Soon, the decisive point will be applied for all matches of the professional circuit of padel. The deciding point is applied when in a game the two teams arrive at 40-40. The raiseers will choose the serving side, and the team that scores the point wins the game.

If for tennis players in French, it is a rule already well known, it piques our curiosity, because we remember that France had been a little mocked when it had applied this rule a few years ago.

Well it happens at World Padel Tour ! For or against?

Application to World Padel Tour

When this rule is applicable, it will not be effective directly at 40-A, but at the fourth advantage. Indeed, it will be possible to go to the advantages the first three times, then, it will be the rule of the decisive point as announced by the World Padel Tour.

When will this be in effect?

This is one of the flagship measures of the World Padel Tour 2019, but this has not yet been effective. However, we do know that this rule will arrive this year, but there has not yet been an official date for its implementation.

The players will be well aware of the first when this measure is in force.

In addition, pre-previas, previas, and the final table will all be affected.

Why this measure?

You know, for a sport to last, you need the support of the media, and the problem today of a padel, is the time of a match (like in tennis). You can never be sure how long it will last, unlike a game of football, basketball, handball, etc. A match of padel can last almost 3 hours!

This measure is therefore taken to reduce match times. This decisive point measurement is associated with a measurement other than the World Padel Tour has already taken: this is the rule of 20 seconds between points. Players know how much time they have left with a clock that shows them the time remaining. The countdown begins when the previous stitch is completed.

The fault of padel is that it is a young sport, unlike tennis, and that is why the organization must comply with the rules of the media in order to be able to continue its development, and to increase this evolution.

What do you think of this rule? However ?
