Recover to the Middle With Your Partner: Hold a 3–4m Gap
The Situation
After each shot you drift apart from your partner and opponents keep finding the gap between you.
What To Do
After every shot, recover toward the centre as a pair while keeping a connected gap of roughly 3–4 metres, close enough to cover the middle, wide enough to cover the lines. Move as one unit: when you slide, your partner slides the same way the same distance.
Why It Works
Two players joined by an invisible 3–4 metre rod is the model for padel positioning: that spacing covers the middle seam without leaving either tramline exposed, and moving together keeps it intact as the ball moves. Drift apart and the middle opens; bunch up and the lines open. Recovering to the centre, not back to where you hit the ball, keeps you balanced for the most likely next reply. The unit, not the individual, defends the court.
