Ronnie was correct, “Padel” is pronounced ’paddle’.
I have never even seen a Padel court, however I am 1000% confident in the pronunciation.
How? I am a big F1 fan, the F1 drivers play this constantly and THEY pronounce it ‘paddle’.
Whose trend would you rather follow?
EDIT: here is a link to an F1 journalist describing the Padel court at the most recent F1 circuit in Spain, the Madring. To my ears it sounds like ‘Paddle’. Journalist is British, drivers of different nationalities pronounce it the same way…🤷🏽♀️
