How does head to head record work in Padel?

Head-to-head in Padel is the running win/loss record between two specific players over time. It matters because some players just match up well or badly against you regardless of rating. Volley tracks head-to-head automatically — you can see your record against every opponent you've played and your "rivals" (opponents you've played most often).

Why this matters for padel players

The reason this question matters so much is that Padel players tend to use stats as a way to track motivation. A clear number that goes up over weeks of practice is the closest thing recreational sport has to a leaderboard. Without it, improvement feels invisible.

How Volley tracks this automatically

In Volley, every match you score feeds into the relevant stat. Your dashboard shows rating, recent form, win/loss, and head-to-head against any opponent. Free, automatic, works for all 9 sports.

Tips for improving

Three things consistently move stats: more matches per week (sample size), playing stronger opponents (ELO leverage), and being honest about scoring (don't round up). All three are easier with an app than with a notebook.
