What to think of the golden point at World Padel Tour ? You will see that it is far from being so obvious. Whether you are players, fans or organizers, opinions and interests are not always the same.

The Master of Marbella definitely makes a lot of talk. By the game proposed by the players, but also by new game strategies implemented by the pairs and a regulation that has evolved.

During this first stage of World Padel Tour in 2020 both finals, ladies and gentlemen, ended in golden point. Obviously has caused a lot of talk in the community.

El punto de oro, the golden point in French, has many detractors. Starting with the fans who always want more shows. First consequence of No Ad: the advantages of padel, It's over !

For organizers, it is a time saver and for retransmissions on TV channels, it is however much more interesting.

And the players in all of that ? In general, they are not fans of this punto de oro, especially for the players supposed to be better. Because, the decisive point somehow resembles a tie break psychologically. The difference in level between 2 pairs is reduced, and we can see surprises.

On the other hand, for players who play a lot, the punto de oro is positive because it reduces the time of a game. For recovery, it's always taken.

Finally for fans, you are a priori AGAINST. On more than 500 votes, you are 85% to estimate that the punto de oro serves the padel.

To see if in time the World Padel Tour continues with this regulation. The French Tennis Federation had imposed the famous NO AD and it had been mocked. In 2020, she forbids it, and it is the WPT which imposes it… Definitely, not easy to be an organizer!
