What is a Golden point in Padel?
Golden point is a sudden-death point at 40-40 (deuce). Instead of needing two consecutive points to win the game, the next point wins it outright. The receiving team picks which side will receive. Standard in pro padel and most club tournaments.
Example in a match
At 40-40, the receiving team picks the deuce side. The next point wins the game. No more deuce ping-pong.
