A poll conducted by Padel Magazine on Instagram shows that 70% of subscribers believe that the pickleball will eventually bow to the padel in the USA.

It seems that fans of padel be very optimistic to defend their favorite sport. Indeed, pickleball is the popular sport in the United States and the one experiencing the most spectacular growth in Uncle Sam's country.

However, some arguments could be held in favor of padel :

  1. International appeal and prestige : The padel is already popular in Europe and Latin America, and its more prestigious image could attract Americans.
  2. Nature of the game : The padel offers fast and strategic play through the walls, combining elements of tennis and squash, which can attract players of these sports.
  3. Social and community experience : Played mainly in doubles, the padel promotes social interactions and can become a family activity or between friends.
  4. Potential for infrastructure development : Tennis clubs can easily convert courts into tennis courts padel, facilitating the introduction of the sport without large investments.
  5. Compatibility with current trends : Accessible to all ages and skill levels, the padel can attract young people and fitness enthusiasts looking for dynamic activities.
  6. Media support and international competitions : The growth of professional tournaments and their media coverage may increase interest in padel, supported by the participation of sports stars.

However, a major argument is in favor of pickleball: the propensity of Americans to do nothing like others when it comes to sport!
