From the Journal

The Journal takes the scenic route through padel. We visit clubs built for lingering, meet the people giving the game its character and examine why a court turns into a destination. Think architecture, travel, hospitality, style, rituals and the post-match plans that become dinner. We explore everything around the game and bring it to you.
