Jonny Errington: Padel New Zealand spokesperson on the sport's growing popularity - The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

Padel is the latest up and coming sports craze taking over the world - and more Kiwis are getting into it.

Between celebrities like David Beckham, Serena Williams, and Elle McPherson showcasing their love of padel and sports fans embracing it worldwide, there's clear demand.

Ahead of New Zealand's first-ever National Padel Tournament Series, Padel NZ's Jonny Errington explained what's making this sport so popular.

"It can appeal to people of different ages, fitness or skill levels - so you can come from a racquetball sport such as tennis or squash or having no background at all in sports."
