Great video, tactics/positioning are so overlooked and definitely a big part of progressing as a padel player. I still struggle and sometimes during matches have to consciously remind myself about my position and where i need to b. I have a quick question tho, when we anticipate a smash from the opponent, where on the court should we move to? Answer might b a video on its own however address the answer to more beginner and intermediate players. I love the simple explanations in ur content, keep them coming.
I have a question about the serving position: When I serve from the left side as a right hand player, is the serve correct when the ball bounces in the legal area (behind both lines) and goes over the serving or the T line, when its in the air? (As reference: the last serve at the video at 11:17 )
in the first situation I'm always told that as long as possible, don't switch players. Because you're both more to one side, if you switch, the whole side is open to the opponent. However in the 3rd tip defense at the back, when the right player in this case moves more to the middle and the left player keeps returning to the opposite half, the whole right side is open again as the player moved to the left. What would be a good way to defend this situation? Move both defending players more to the right?
If they played to the right, you both would have to move to the right yes! But that’s a harder shot for your opponents, you always have to cover the easy ones!
Baaaamos !! I really like your video... as a beginner, I have no experience in tennis or racket sports, so I don't know how to spin the ball. And when I receive a ball in my side of the court that comes with a spin, I get puzzled and don't know how to react. The ball just makes a complete different trajectory and I stop at the wrong spot and just look at the beautiful spin that my opponent sent me without ANY reaction. I just admire the beautiful spin and do nothing, haha... please help!! :-b And please come to Lisboa to give a tutorial here. Bristol is too far!
Good tips. In my games I usually end up in a situation when there is a big cap between me and my partner. When I go play more offensively to the net my partner may want to stay more at the back. Sometimes I think I press too aggressively to the net.
Nice review. I would add few things: 1) While near the net the players mostly dont stay on the same distance from the net(in line). Usually when playing to the corners, the one who is covering the line is standing one step forward from the one who is covering the diagonal(2 steps from second post and 1 step from second post correspondingly) 2) When both players are back in defence one should be very careful with anticipation stepping closer to his partner to cover the middle if his partner is playing diagonal because it is very common for the opponent to see it and play forehand volley down the line in the corner that he opens when moving to the middle and that corner is also closer in distance from him which makes it more dangerous and harder to defend. As a result the other player may struggle to cover his corner especcially with a backhand(on the left for right handed or on the right for left handed).
Thanks for this Yura! 1) that’s what I mean in the 2nd section of part 1 of the video. Playing in a step (or “escalonados” so that the player in the diagonal can deal with the lob. 2) You always have to cover a bit more the center when they play to your partner. In padel it is easier keeping the direction than changing it, so it is not that easy to play to your corner
Nice video! But at 9:54 if the guy plays a slow volley to your partner's corner (instead of back to you) which is an easy shot I think.. it will be very hard for your partner to respond. I understand the need to help and cover the center but it leaves a big gap..like you said it's 3 angles and just 2 people
In padel it is always easier to keep the same direction rather than changing to the other direction. Therefore, you always have to cover the easier shot for your opponent. If he plays the winner by doing the hard shot all you can do is congratulate him and focus on the next point 🙌
In general, +1 to what @padeldriver said but also the partner should react to any cues that the other player might give, racket position, swing, previous shots they took and decide whether to be slightly closer to the center or the right side, plus be prepared to move quickly and not "read the newspaper".
I still struggle to understand where to stand at the back. Sometimes as you said you need to move more to the center to maybe rescue your partner, but this opens up your corner and if the opponent decides to do a bandeja to the line I could be fked. As for the net, moving as a pair comes naturally to me. Perhaps you could do a video about that as well^^
9:50 - I think I do not agree with the proposed positioning. Mainly, because as if you play cross-court from where you're at, your partner is completely out of position and a simple forehand/backhand volley down the side glass most likely will be a winner. IMHO your partner should be quite a big step to the right and be focused that his help may be needed when a ball comes to the middle (especially if you choose to play to the guy in blue as a bounce from the glass will be towards right side of the court). Looking forward to your reply :)

It depends really. As a general rule, the player that played the lob stays at the back and the partner go towards the net to cover the fast rebound 🙌
Very good!
