The rules of padel have evolved over the years and there was a time when it was possible to jump straight into the opposing camp to complete the point!

At the Brazilian Internationals in Itaparica, Brazil, in 1993, Belgian Alec de Laet jumped into the opposing camp to finish a point, facing Argentines Alejandro Blaha and Pablo Irigoitia. A spectacular point, and quite normal at the time.

Obviously, it is no longer possible today to carry out such an action, but it should be known that at the time it was completely authorized to jump over the net to finish its race in the opposite camp. You still had to hit the ball before setting foot in the opposing court, and having completed the point. Collector.
