With the emergence of paddle , it is clear that private clubs and municipal clubs must be able to meet the growing demand of players. Padel is currently booming, the number of players is increasing. On the other hand, it is sometimes complicated to find 4 players. Therefore, playing together maybe the solution.
There are two ways to play in 1 vs 1 in padel . Indeed, specific land allow you to learn to tame the windows before entering the deep end. You can also play on a normal terrain , playing only and diagonal .
Padel Single
1 vs 1 padel courts are few and far between in France. But they do exist, so check out the clubs near you. The court is smaller than a normal court, the rules are the same as for traditional padel. If you already play padel, you will have to get used to the new dimensions at first, but this is done quite quickly.

Play in “diago”
Diagonal play can be done anywhere. In this case, you should only play diagonally. If you are planning a tournament it is best to practice with a player who usually plays on the same side as you. Or it can also be interesting to use the “diago” to learn to play on the other side.
What are the advantages of playing Padel in 1 vs 1? In terms of organization it will be simpler. No need to find 3 people to play. You will play more balls, since by definition you will be alone on the court. You will be able to improve your technique and your control. Indeed, the court being smaller, your opponent will have more ease in catching your powerful shots. It will also be more physical than padel in 2 vs 2.
On the contrary, there are disadvantages compared to classic padel. The friendly atmosphere will be less present, and you will no longer have moral support. You will not have a partner who will support you during your complicated moments of the match. Above all, you will already have to have a level allowing you to play with precision, otherwise you risk getting bored quite quickly...
