Coach Julian talks about the importance of net covering and serving strategy in padel. He suggests covering the middle and serving across the court to keep opponents from taking advantage of gaps. Partners must communicate well in order for them to move in accordance with the server’s signal to cover the expected return.
When a partner serves to the right, the player should cover the middle when they come back. Serving to the middle and closing angles can also aid score more points. Take away the returner’s angles and serve to the middle 90 95% of the time to win padel, a rectangular game. Players can raise their level of play and begin to close gaps by putting these methods into practice.
