It shows the depth of analysis required to compete at the highest levels of the game.
Description
The return and serve are one of the most important shots in the game. You can basically win a 40 point rally and than make return mistake.. It both counts as 1 point.

Especially in higher level padel tournaments, like the highest ranked tournaments in your country, FIP, APT or WPT tournaments.
