Abstract

This study aimed to analyse serve statistics in elite padel players regarding court side and gender, and its relation to strategy and golden point. The sample contained 445 serves from 8 matches (4 male and 4 female) of the 2020 Masters Finals World Padel Tour. Variables related to serve (number, direction, court side and effectiveness), with the strategy (traditional or Australian) and with golden point were registered though systematic observation. Results showed differences according to gender and court side were found. Female players serve more to the center of the court (“T”) than men. In right side of the court, players serve more to the “T” when they use Australian strategy, comparing to left side. 15% more serves to the side wall are realized on the left side than the right, regardless of the serve strategy. Regarding golden point, the service players won 12% more point than when it was not a decisive point. Such knowledge may constitute a useful guide in the design of appropriate game strategies and specific-training session based on actual competition context.
