In the last year or so, there's been a huge surge in padel, the racket sport similar to tennis but on a smaller, partly enclosed court using a different type of racket. But why has it suddenly become so popular?

The sport, also known as padel tennis, is thought to have been invented by Enrique Corcuera in 1969 after he transformed his squash court at his Mexico abode in Acapulco to incorporate elements of tennis and to stop balls from disappearing into his neighbour's garden.
