Single-set matches
One set decides the match. It is not one of the FIP options, but the LTA sets one set as the minimum scoring for its Grade 5 Local Tour padel events, and many leagues and social events use it.
Cosa cambia rispetto a una partita standard
Only one set is played, so there is no second or third set.
Le regole
One set is played. In a six-game set, six games with a lead of two win it, five-all goes on to 7 to 5, and a tie-break decides it at six-all. The winner of the set wins the match. The toss, serving order, changes of ends and time rules are the same as in any match. If the event uses a four-game set instead, the tie-break comes at four-all.
Come organizzarlo
Use it where you need several matches per player in one session, for example in a compass draw. State the set length and deuce format on the draw. Leave a short gap between rounds for the warm-up.

How long is a one-set padel match?
There is no fixed time: it depends on the players' level and the deuce format. It is always shorter than a best of three match.
