The survey gathered a large sample of more than 600 participants, thus offering a representative view of padel fans.

The reasons behind this result

Several reasons can explain this preference:

  1. Tensions and conflicts : Playing as a couple can sometimes generate tensions and conflicts, especially in the event of disagreements on the field. Competition can heighten frustrations, leading to arguments that go beyond the scope of the game.
  2. Level differences : If one partner is much more experienced or skilled than the other, this can lead to an imbalance in the game and a frustrating experience for both parties.
  3. Preserve harmony : Many prefer to maintain a separation between their couple life and their sporting activities to preserve harmony and prevent padel from becoming a source of stress.

The ratio of men to women in couples

An important dimension of this survey concerns the relationship between men and women when they play as a couple. Many women criticize their male partners for not “trusting them enough on the court”. Some believe that men adopt a “macho attitude”, thinking that it is necessary to “hit hard to play padel well”.
