I first stepped onto a padel court in 2022 when I was visiting my brother in Philadelphia. He drove us just outside city limits to a multi-purpose fitness center called PADELphia. As a tennis purist generally underwhelmed by other racket sports — including America's latest obsession (pickleball) — I had low expectations for this game that had been described to me as a cross between tennis and squash. But it was my brother's one request. And it turned out he knew something I didn't: padel is electric. "It's like four-dimension tennis," described LA-based tennis and padel coach Daniel Wulff. "You have an afterlife: When the ball goes by you in tennis, it's over; in padel, the ball can come back. It opens a new world." While popular in countries like Mexico, where the sport originated, and Spain and Argentina, padel hasn't quite taken off in the US the way pickleball has, for instance. Business Insider spoke to the EEP Capital cofounder Christ Ishoo, who is on a mission to grow the sport in the States, about the barriers holding padel back from exploding in the US. As for the future of the sport in the States, he's all-in, predicting that, in the US, there will be "10,000 courts in about 10 years." He's adamant that one key to growth will be incorporating youth programs: "How do we get the kids involved? Because that will create superstars for the future." Others, including Wulff, are less gung ho, especially with a behemoth like pickleball to compete with. "Pickleball, to me, is in the DNA of Americans. It's cheap, or free in most places, and the court is smaller, so you don't have to move that much," said Wulff. "It doesn't have the sexiness but it gets people going, it gets people playing, it gets people saving money. How do you beat that?"

Back in February, we recommended three must-listen #padel #podcasts, including offerings from Julian Wortelboer and Cesar Caceres (the Padel Smash Academy podcast)... Minter Dial and PADEL1969 (the Joy of Padel podcast), and Brittany Dubins and Ben Nichols (the Padel Movement podcast). Having just been a guest on Michael Vittorio's new PadelCast podcast on the The US Padel Network (along with the likes of Ryan Redondo of Taktika Padel, David Gutstadt of Ballers, and Ray Brinkmanis of Alba Padel Sports SL) it occurred to me it might be time to update this list and feature three more worthy additions for you to check out on the way to your next padel match. These include offerings from Alexander Inglot and the Hexagon Cup (All The Angles) and two self-diagnosed padel addicts (Jorge Sanz povar and Jaime Sanz Povar) from Southern California whose most recent guests have included Elliot Carnello of Ace Padel and the team behind pATL in Atlanta and Louisville. The details on all three can be found in our just-released article below 👇, so please check it out when you have a moment and then ♻ to help spread the word.
