While this is exciting, I hope the infrastructure development includes making the sport accessible to common people. Often these world-class facilities remain exclusive to elite clubs.

Padel is huge in Europe and Middle East. Smart move by India to tap into this growing sport. The mixed nationality pairings are interesting - Vaibhavi Deshmukh with Japanese partner shows global collaboration.
