How PADL-Padel ratings work
PADL Performance Index for Padel
PPI for Padel is a 0.000–10.000 padel rating built only from verified padel matches. Its own formula, its own records—never mixed with pickleball or tennis.
Why it's different
Fair to every partner, every team.
Simple averages
A 4.5 + 2.5 pair averages 4.0, the same as two 4.0 players—even though they play very differently. Partners can be treated unequally.
PPI for Padel
Team strength uses 60% of the stronger partner and 40% of the other. Both partners always move together, and padding against weaker teams earns almost nothing.

These numbers come straight from the live PPI for Padel formula.
A mixed pair beats a solid pair
4.500 + 2.500 (team 3.700) beat 4.000 + 4.000 (team 4.000) · 6–4, 7–5
| Winner 4.500 | 4.500 → 4.696 | +0.196 |
| Winner 2.500 | 2.500 → 2.696 | +0.196 |
| Each loser | 4.000 → 3.813 | -0.187 |
The 60/40 team strength makes the mixed pair the underdog, so the win earns a solid gain for both.
No padding against weaker teams
5.000 + 5.000 beat 3.800 + 3.800 · 6–0, 6–1
| Each winner | 5.000 → 5.005 | +0.005 |
| Each loser | 3.800 → 3.709 | -0.091 |
A team gap over 1.0 means the win earns almost nothing.
Clutch padel counts
