What the deal? Why is Padel so sticky?

Padel, that sneaky lovechild of tennis and squash born in Mexico back in '69, is exploding in the US like a well-placed lob—jumping from a measly 20 courts in 2019 to 454 by 2023, all thanks to its wall-bouncing fun and social vibe that has players chatting more than sweating. While Spain hoards the spotlight, America's curiosity is spiking third worldwide, hinting at Olympic dreams by 2032 if the federation rallies enough nations, proving even tennis might soon be walled off from the cool kids' club.
