“…Previous studies have observed that when serving pairs nished the rally at the net, they had many chances to win the rally, especially when there were no net exchanges or two net exchanges (Escudero-Tena, Gómez-Ruano et al, 2023). When a team serves, the probability of winning a point is higher at the beginning of the rally (Chacoma & Billoni, 2023). These and other authors observed that the advantage of having the service disappears after shot number seven (Chacoma & Billoni, 2023; Sánchez-Alcaraz, .…”

The aims were to (i) analyze winners, forced errors, unforced errors, and forced error generators based on set results and serve, (ii) examine differences between set winning and losing pairs regarding shot types and effectiveness, and (iii) investigate differences between set winning and losing pairs in shot types that generate forced errors. Data were collected from 41 professional matches (men and women) at the World Padel Tour Finland Padel Open website. The results reveal that pairs generate more winners and forced error generators at serve, while forced errors are more prominent at return. The winning pair achieved more winners (men: CSR = 7.7; women: CSR = 7.4), whereas the losing pair committed more errors (men: forced errors (CSR = 4.3) and unforced errors (CSR = 3.8); women: forced errors (CSR = 4.8) and unforced errors (CSR = 2.8)). Additionally, the winning pair generated more forced errors (men: 56.5%; women: 60.0%) than the losing pair did (men: 43.5%; women: 40.0%). These findings are crucial for coaches and players as they offer insights into sex-specific technical aspects, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of training strategies.

Purpose: This study analyzed the sequences of actions in professional men and women padel players to identify common game patterns. Methods: The sample comprised 17,557 stroke-by-stroke actions (N = 1640 rallies) of the championship World Padel Tour. Multistep Markov chains were used to calculate the conditional probabilities of occurrence of actions during the rally. Results: Results revealed that men’s and women’s padel is mainly defined by 36 patterns constituting 55% and 63% of all actions in the game, respectively, with the 10 most common sequences accounting for 42% to 45% of the game. There were recurrent technical–tactical actions with specific offensive and defensive functions that were constantly reiterated during the rallies. In men, the use of smash, volley, bandeja, direct, back wall, back-wall lobs, and direct lobs followed a foreseeable pattern up to 8 lags, whereas women described predictable interactions for volley, bandeja, direct, lobs, and direct lobs up to 5 lags and for smash and back wall up to 4 lags. Conclusions: The ability of padel players to recall these patterns and enhance their anticipation skills may potentially improve their performance. These findings contribute to a better knowledge of professional padel game dynamics while providing coaches and players with useful information to optimize training and decision-making strategies.
