Game scoring: 15–30–40–game; deuce at 40–40; golden point to decide.
Definition
Padel scoring follows tennis: 15, 30, 40, game. When both players reach 40–40, it's deuce. From deuce, a golden point is played—the receiver chooses a side, and one point decides the game. Sets are typically first-to-six games with a two-game lead, or a tiebreak at 6–6.
Origin: English: 'scoring', the standard point-counting method.
Every padel game uses this scoring system; understanding deuce and golden point rules is essential for competitive play.
Padel evolved from tennis and adopted its scoring system for familiarity. It's now the international standard.
At 6–6 in games, a tiebreak to 7 points (win by 2) decides the set. Matches are usually best-of-3 sets.
