What is a Serve box in Padel?
The service boxes in padel are the two rectangles on each side of the court where serves must land. Same diagonal pattern as tennis: deuce side serves to deuce side, ad side to ad side.
Example in a match
You serve from the right of your baseline into your opponent's deuce-side service box.
