​

Padel was invented in Mexico in 1969 by a Mexican gentleman named Enrique Corcuera, after combining certain elements of a squash court and a tennis court in his house in Acapulco. Enrique originally wanted to build a tennis court, but he had to realize that he didn't have enough space. So he made it smaller and built walls around it. He called this game 'Paddle Corcuera'. The rest are legends!
