Which side of the padel court should you play? The answer depends less on preference and more on your strengths, playing style and partnership.
Think of it simply: the right-side player is the engine, building the point with consistency and patience, while the left-side player is the weapon, looking to attack and finish.
But there’s more to it than that. From who covers the middle and handles the lobs to who takes control of the attack, understanding your role can transform how you and your partner play together.
