Asia is the largest and most populous continent in the world. It has the fastest growing consumer class globally. It has rich pockets of racket sport pedigree.

So the conditions for padel's proliferation are perfect. But there have been delays and challenges.

In this week's episode of All The Angles, Alex Inglot and Hexagon Cup's Ben Nichols are joined by three outside experts from different corners of the this huge area to explore all manner of subjects related to Asian padel:

Academies
Equipment
Court Costs
Climate
Local Tours
Top Pro Events
Federations
Olympics
Lifestyle
Accessibility
and more...

Davy Sanh, Founder of Pop Padel in Singapore; Curtis Yu, Founder of Padel+ in Hong Kong; and Alan Healy, Founder of Padel India look at the landscape and offer insights on characteristics, trends, challenges and opportunities.

Described as "today's oil", data is critical in so many aspects of modern life.

In sport, match data has become increasingly crucial in a range of different areas: player and coaching performance analysis, driving fan insight and engagement across broadcast and content, underpinning the betting experience and more.

In this week's episode of All The Angles, Alex Inglot is joined by three outside experts in the space to explore how padel is collecting its match data, and what it is doing with all that data; and perhaps most importantly, should it and can it be doing more? To improve the on-court product, the level of fan interaction and the amount of revenue?

Ciaran Skinner of Skylab, David Lampitt of Tennis Data Innovations and Kate Trainor of Champion Data take a look at where padel is today and compare that with where other sports are: opportunities, challenges, the works!

Rocket Padel's Founder Sebastian Gordon and MATCHi's CCO Andreas Karlsson witnessed and were part of Sweden's incredible relationship with padel over the last decade or so.

In today's All The Angles episode, together with Hexagon Cup's Astrid Thams and Alex Inglot, we try to understand that relationship: the highs, the lows, the current status, the future and of course the reasons.

This week, Alex Inglot is joined by another Hexagon Cup founder, Jose Calvo Sotelo, and together they track how professional padel has undergone a revolution and how that has impacted the players and the agents that look after them.

Antonio Jover Calderon of WIM Sports looks after top 10 players like Paquito Navarro, Victoria Iglesias and Momo Gonzalez. Pablo Tejero Mancho of All in Sports Group looks after Javi Garrido, Coki Nieto and ex-No1 Pablo Lima, as well as names across other sports. No one is better placed to outline the nature and extent of the changes that have occurred to date, nor the seismic evolution that still lies ahead. We touch on language requirements, content and social media expectations, new commercial partner dynamics, the agency world's own changes and more.

This episode provides a unique window into how the pros have had to adapt to the rise in the sport's popularity.
