Here are the official FIP rules, straight from the guidebook, made easy to read just for you.
The service is a fault if:
- The server infringes on Padel Service Rules.
- The server misses the ball when trying to hit it.
- The ball bounces outside the receiver’s service box.
- The ball hits the server, his companion, or any object worn or carried by either.
- The ball bounces in the receiver’s service box and touches the metallic fence around the court before the second bounce.
- The ball bounces in the receiver’s service box and bounces out of court directly through the gates of a court without a safety zone and therefore with no out-of-court play authorized.
Bonus Questions
CASE 1
I’ve served and the ball hits the wall, a light or the fence on my side of the court, then gone over the net into the receiver’s service box before bouncing on the ground. Is this serve good?
Decision: NO, It’s a fault.
CASE 2
I have served a lob and the ball bounces in the receiver’s box and goes directly out of court over the metallic fence. Is this a fault?
Decision: NO. It is not a fault
