Padel Up: Beginner's Guide | Episode: Scoring Made Simple: From Love to Match Point

Confused by padel scoring? You are not alone. In this beginner-friendly episode, host Jack Mercer breaks down everything you need to know about how padel is scored, from the very first point to match point. Whether you are brand new to the sport or have played a few times but never quite got your head around the scoring system, this episode covers it all in clear, plain language.

Jack walks you through the point system, explaining why zero is called love, how the score moves from fifteen to thirty to forty, and what happens when both teams reach deuce. You will also learn about the golden point, a popular format used in recreational padel that replaces advantage scoring with a single decisive point at deuce, keeping matches fast and exciting.

From there, the episode moves on to sets, explaining how six games wins a set, when a tiebreak is triggered, and how tiebreak scoring works. Finally, Jack explains how a full padel match is structured as a best of three sets and what happens when a deciding third set is needed.

Perfect for anyone just starting out, this episode gives you the foundational knowledge to follow the score during your next game with confidence.
