What is a Super tiebreak in Padel?

A super tiebreak is a 10-point tiebreak (win by 2) played in place of a deciding third set. Used in time-constrained padel formats. Less common than in tennis but possible.

Example in a match

You and your opponents split the first two sets. Instead of playing a full third, you play a super tiebreak to 10 points.
