Done

July 2026

AI racket search & release alerts

Done

July 2026

Padel Vision: your match in numbers

Upload a video of your match – the AI tracks players and ball and gives you an annotated video plus stats: ball contacts and shot types per player (volley, bandeja, vibora, smash), rallies, heatmaps, ball speed and distance covered. GPU-accelerated, results in minutes, the first analysis is free: padelvision.padelradar.io

Done

July 2026

More tournaments, further ahead

The tournament calendar now also pulls tournaments directly from the DPV portal – many of them months in advance, long before they appear on RankedIn. Duplicates are detected automatically.

Done

July 2026

Team planner: which GPS category may your team enter?

Find both of you in the DPV ranking, your points are added up and you instantly see every allowed GPS category including the maximum team points per category – the higher limits for youth players (U18) are included. It works the other way round too: say which category you want to play and the planner suggests matching partners, optionally from your region. Plus the next matching tournaments and one click into the pre-filtered tournament calendar.

Done

July 2026

Player stats with points forecast

Everything about a player on one page: points, rank and rank history, tournaments played, win-loss record, most frequent partners, venues and categories. Plus a forecast of which result drops out of the 52-week window next, how many points that costs and where you are likely to stand afterwards.

Done

July 2026

Court search: 4PADEL included and search by venue name

The 4PADEL venues (Berlin, Münster, Düsseldorf, Essen, Mülheim) now show free slots including prices right here. You also no longer have to go via the city: just type the venue name, e.g. 'Padelon' or 'Padel Pulse'. This works for the court search and for notifications. And far more venues now show a photo.

Done

July 2026

Set up and share court alerts without an account

You can now pick venue, weekdays and times without signing in — only when you save are you asked for your email address, and your settings move into the new account automatically. Plus a copy button: it creates a link that opens the alert with your venue already selected — handy for the WhatsApp group.

Done

July 2026

Public player profiles

Every player now has their own shareable address with points, rank, rank history, tournaments, record and points forecast — findable via Google. The figures are read straight from the current data with no caching in between, so nobody can end up looking at stale numbers. Profiles of youth players (U18) are deliberately kept out of search engines, and we remove any profile from the index on request.

Done

July 2026

Sign in whichever way you like

Besides the login link by email there are now two more ways: email with a password and 'Sign in with Google'. All three lead into the same account — anyone who used the link so far keeps their alerts and settings, and no duplicate accounts are created. Alongside this the menu has been regrouped (tournaments & ranking, courts, play & learn, gear) and the homepage groups the tools by the same topics.

Done

July 2026

Several tournament alerts per account

You can now save and name several searches at once — for example 'Men open 250' and 'Men 50 from 500'. Each one can be paused or deleted on its own. Your profile lists all tournament and court alerts side by side; previously it only showed the most recently saved one.

Done

July 2026

PadelCity venues in the court finder

26 more venues have been added to the court finder and the map. PadelCity does not share free slots with us, so you get a note and a link there — booking happens directly at PadelCity.

Done

August 2026

New court and tournament search

The court finder and tournament calendar have a new, faster interface: hall, town or a whole question in one field, a clickable and zoomable map of Germany, date ranges instead of single days, times and prices right on each court, plus a button to save the current search as an alert. The classic view stays reachable under the -old address.

Done

August 2026

Results of the week & ranking movers

A new page with the winners of recently finished tournaments, plus the week's biggest climbers and fallers and the top-20 movements on the player stats page – for men and women. Found under 'Results'.

Done

August 2026

'Auf dem Radar' newsletter

The weekly padel report from Germany: the winners of the biggest tournaments, the climber of the week, curated news and a piece of good news to finish – every Thursday, free, with double opt-in. Sign up in the footer or on the homepage.

Done

August 2026

Industry directory for the padel business

Court manufacturers, builders, lighting, planning and more – with categories, a map and a free listing for companies. Every entry is reviewed before going live. Found in the menu under 'Directory'.

Done

August 2026

Player data & head-to-head

The complete sortable player list (matches, tournaments, wins, win rate, ranking position) with a time filter – and the new head-to-head comparison: pick two players and see their duel record, set and game ratio, form, shared tournaments and their record as a team. Signed in, you are preselected as player 1.

Done

August 2026

Tournament finder: faster to select

Date presets like 'next 7 days' or 'this weekend', a calendar starting the week on Monday, location suggestions including 'near me' with a radius, selected cities and states drawn on the map, and an icon summary of the active filters. Plus a tidied-up, more modern menu.

Done

August 2026

Tournament pages with draw view

Every tournament from the weekly results now has its own page: clicking a result card opens the full tournament run with a bracket per class, all rounds, set scores and group tables.

Done

August 2026

A page for every venue

111 padel venues now have their own page with address, courts, prices and the free slots of the coming days - plus a map and the other venues in town. There are also city pages like padelradar.io/padel/hamburg that gather every venue in one place.

Done

August 2026

Player profile in your account

Your account now knows how you play: playing level in half steps, preferred position, favourite venue and region. Plus the link to your DPV ranking entry and an illustrated avatar. The profile is the basis for better suggestions - tournaments, partners and training.

Done

August 2026

Points you can check yourself

What a player's points are made of is now out in the open: every counted tournament with its points, what most recently dropped out of the rolling 52-week ranking and what that cost. The point values come from the official DPV catalogue instead of an approximation, and the men's, women's and mixed events are kept strictly apart in record and tournament counts.

Done

August 2026

Leaderboards from real match data

Who won the most over the last 90 days? New leaderboards built from the matches actually played - wins, win rate and tournaments, separately for men and women, on the homepage and in the player stats.

Done

August 2026

Instant push notifications

For the three cases where minutes matter - a court frees up, a matching tournament appears, a booking changes - the alert now also arrives as a push on your phone instead of only by email. Switch it on in your profile, off again any time.

Done

August 2026

Tournament widget for clubs

Clubs and venues can show the next padel tournaments nearby on their own website: pick the radius, categories and colours, copy one line of code, done. Free and always up to date. Found at padelradar.io/club-widget.

Done

August 2026

Newsletter archive

Every past issue of 'Auf dem Radar' can now be read publicly - handy for looking inside before subscribing, or finding an older issue again. Found at padelradar.io/newsletter/archiv.

Done

August 2026

New homepage with a live counter

The homepage now leads through three clear entry points - find a tournament, find a court, get better - each with a real number and a preview of the tool. Plus a live counter of currently free courts and the leaderboards of the last 90 days.

Done

August 2026

Entry deadlines in the tournament calendar

Every tournament now shows how long you can still enter, and a new 'entry still open' filter hides everything you have missed. Tournaments with no known deadline stay visible - nothing gets hidden just because a date is missing.

Done

August 2026

Tournament lists: collect, sort, share without an account

Every tournament now carries a plus. Use it to build as many lists as you like ('autumn with Flo', 'maybe'), sort them in your profile and rename them. Each list has a link that works for someone without a Padelradar account - with filters by category and town that only offer what is actually in the list.

Done

August 2026

Team planner: save teams, get alerts

Once two players are set, you can save the pairing under a name - it then appears in your profile and on the team planner, one click puts both back in and the points are fetched fresh. Plus an alert for a team: pick the categories you may play and how far ahead, and every week you get matching tournaments whose entry is still open.

Done

August 2026

Court alerts with presets

The dialog now takes the settings from your search and lets you change them right there - weekdays, times, duration. Plus presets for the most common cases: 'Mon-Fri from 5 pm' or 'weekend 10 am-8 pm' in one click.

Done

August 2026

Every venue we can find

A weekly run searches all connected booking systems for new padel venues and adds them automatically - no longer just Playtomic. New halls therefore show up in the court finder and in alerts without anyone having to report them.

Done

September 2026

Padel quiz with padel licence

15 questions from a pool of 52 - serve, scoring, walls, point or fault - with a small animated scene for every question and an explanation after every answer. Get 12 right and you earn the padel licence as a certificate with your name and date, sent by email to your free account and ready to share with your padel group. Play without an account, every round freshly shuffled.

Done

September 2026

Tournament planner: Americano, Mexicano, fixed teams

A padel tournament in five minutes: paste the names, pick the courts, choose the scoring - points, time, sets or match tiebreak. The planner draws the rounds, spreads the matches across courts and keeps the table; fixed teams play round robin, with a final if you like. A small animation shows upfront how pairs are formed in Americano, Mexicano and fixed teams. Runs in the browser, no account needed.

Done

September 2026

Entry lists: who's already in?

Every tournament card now has two buttons: 'Entry list' opens all categories with the registered teams, players and their ranking points - each name links to the player profile. 'Register' takes you straight to the sign-up. The entry list also appears on the tournament page, and a player's profile shows where they are entered next.

Done

September 2026

Racket hub: best-of list, finder and every brand

Which padel racket suits you? The new section padelradar.io/padelschlaeger brings together the 2026 best-of list by player type, the five best beginner rackets, a racket finder - five questions, three recommendations with reasons - and a page per brand with every series, the buy-or-wait signal and the second-hand offers from the racket marketplace.

Done

September 2026

Your Padelradar: dashboard, push and the app on your phone

After logging in you now land on your own page: the next steps as a list (tournament and court alerts, push, player profile, newsletter), plus your teams, lists and requests. Push notifications are switched on there, and Padelradar can be added to the home screen as an app - on the iPhone that is what makes push possible.

Done

September 2026

No club in your town? We'll let you know

If you search the court finder in a place without a bookable club, you can now sign up. As soon as a club appears there in the court finder, you get an email. Over 270 empty searches a month turn into waiting lists - and an argument for operators planning a hall.

Done

September 2026

Find players

Missing a fourth? At padelradar.io/mitspieler you post an open match with city, level and time; others reply directly in the app, your email stays private. Open matches expire after 14 days by themselves.

Done

September 2026

Padel near me and richer club pages

Share your location and see the nearest clubs with distance, courts and booking link - padelradar.io/padel-in-der-naehe. Club and city pages now show a fact sheet, prices and hours from availability, directions, local tournaments and answers to the most common questions.

Done

September 2026

Operator portal: claim and maintain your club

Club operators claim their venue at padelradar.io/betreiber, maintain description, opening hours, prices and contact themselves and see how many players in their city are waiting for courts. Approval after a short check.

Done

September 2026

Follow players and the weekly report

Every player page now has 'Follow' and 'That's me'. On Mondays the personal weekly report arrives by email: your ranking movement, the results of your players and tournaments near you. Only sent when there is something to report, and can be switched off in your profile.

Done

September 2026

Rate coaches and subscribe to the calendar

After a confirmed lesson you can rate your coach; average and votes appear on the coach page and in the coach search. Coaches subscribe to their appointments via a webcal address in Google, Apple or Outlook calendar.

Done

September 2026

Racket marketplace: wanted ads

Besides offers there are now wanted ads: say which racket you are looking for and what you want to spend - the simplest ad there is, no photo needed.

Done

September 2026

New typography: scoreboard look

Padelradar has a new typeface pairing: headings and key figures in a narrow, bold all-caps face like the scoreboard in the hall, body text in a calm companion face. padelradar.io serves both fonts itself, with no request to Google.

Done

September 2026

Google ratings on every venue

Venue and city pages now show the Google rating: stars, number of votes and the link to Google. A weekly run matches more than 580 venues and checks every hit for plausibility - better no stars than the neighbour's.

Done

September 2026

Fixed-slot planner: your weekly court, organised

Booked a fixed weekly slot at your hall? Set it up as a group at padelradar.io/abo-planer: every match day of the season sits in a calendar, everyone confirms or declines with one click — no account needed thanks to a personal link. With more regulars than court spots, the planner draws who plays each week, evenly across the season; players who only play the left or right side are only drawn when that side is free. Substitutes bench, public-holiday hints, cancel a date or release the court, and a reminder two days ahead for everyone who has not answered. Subscribe to the group in Google, Apple or Outlook calendar or download it as ICS. Organisation only, no money involved.

Done

September 2026

Leaderboard: all events combined

New switch “All combined” in the leaderboard: matches, wins and tournaments from men’s, women’s and mixed events are added up per player. Anyone who plays men’s and mixed appears once with the total – so the most active list reflects everything they actually played. Rank and points come from the event with the best rank and carry its letter. A user’s request.

Done

September 2026

Tournament search: list or calendar

The tournament search now shows your hits as a calendar too: the same filtered tournaments by date, as a month or a week with start times. In the team planner your tournament lists sit in the calendar, coloured by thumbs up: grey with no vote, amber with one, green from two. Voting happens in the shared list.

Done

September 2026

Tournament list in your own calendar

Every shared tournament list now has a calendar address: Google, Apple or Outlook fetch the list regularly by themselves, including the tournaments added later. Or download it once as an .ics file. Tournaments without a fixed start time sit as all-day entries, multi-day ones span all their days, and a reminder arrives the day before.

Done

September 2026

Americanos and club tournaments in the calendar

Alongside the ranking tournaments, the calendar now carries the events the venues run themselves: Americanos, club tournaments, King of the Court. Each card shows start time, duration, level, price and how many spots are taken. The new “Tournament type” filter shows one, the other or both. The Dutch calendar carries them too.

Done

September 2026

Netherlands: the KNLTB ranking tournaments

The calendar at padelradar.io/nl now carries the official ranking tournaments of the Dutch federation: P500, P250 and P100, the only ones that award points for the Padel Ranglijst. A filter by tournament type keeps them apart from open tournaments and the americanos run by the clubs. Useful if you live near the border and play in the Netherlands.

Done

September 2026

Search: Near me, radius up to 100 km

In the court finder, “Near me” now sits next to venue and town, with the radius you set. Pick a radius without setting a town and Padelradar searches from your location — in the court finder and in the tournament calendar. Hover a tournament in the list and its dot lights up on the map.

Done
