Fujairah Padel Tennis Courts already underway
Abdul Ghafour Behroozian, Chairman of Tennis & Country Club Fujairah and Marta Apraiz CEO of Empower Sports Services have signed a contract for the construction of 2 Padel Tennis Courts with future ones proposed and Fujairah to become part of UAE Padel circuit with coaching tournaments etc.
Most often, Padel is seen as a combination of tennis, squash and racquetball, and can be played indoors and outdoors. The court is usually one-third the size of a tennis court that is enclosed with a wire mesh on the sides and glass walls at either ends, which one can play off when the need arises.
A match is normally a best-of-three sets using balls that are similar to those used in tennis. The scoring too is the same as that in tennis, and most of the rules governing the sport are similar to those followed in tennis.
Padel is more popular as a sport for pairs. The uniqueness of the game is that it enables a player to use the walls surrounding the court to return the ball, something similar to what happens in squash.
