Matchmaker: New Partners, New Addictions in Padel

Summer changes everything.
Your routine, your wardrobe, your schedule… and of course, your padel partners.

That trusted duo you always played with on Tuesdays? Off on holiday.
Your reliable partner who never missed a match? Now only replies to WhatsApp with beach emojis.
But the heat doesn’t kill your desire to play — it just complicates the logistics.

That’s where Matchmaker comes in — one of Tieplayer’s key features.
It’s the sporting cupid that lets you challenge new duos based on your level and location.
Zero stress, just pure game.

In this article, we explain why summer is the perfect season to discover new partners, keep your padel addiction alive and even improve your game — even when your usual partners disappear from the map.
Spoiler: Matchmaker is about to become your best ally.

Summer: the season when groups vanish

With holidays in full swing, the usual groups go into forced pause.
Every week becomes a puzzle to organize matches.
Schedules shift, courts fill up, and booking through the same old group chat turns into a marathon.

But what many see as a problem, true padel lovers see as an opportunity to experiment… and maybe even ask for a rematch.

This is where Matchmaker starts to make sense.

So, what exactly is Matchmaker?

It’s Tieplayer’s sports-and-social algorithm.
Instead of waiting for your group to reply, you open the app, access a list of duos and get matched with available players at your level.

It’s like having a personal assistant who knows where you want to play, when, and with whom — and handles everything with no drama.

Matchmaker is perfect for anyone who wants to play more often, with less frustration, and without depending on disorganized groups.

New games, new rhythm, more improvement

Playing with different people challenges you.
It gets you out of your comfort zone, helps you adapt your playing style and exposes you to new dynamics.
And during summer, with so many new players trying the sport of the moment, Matchmaker becomes a gateway to unexpected — and addictive — matches.

How many times have you joined a game with total strangers and ended up leaving with new friends who share the same passions?

The diversity of games Matchmaker exposes you to is one of the most effective ways to improve as a player.
Less monotony, more rhythm — and therefore, more adaptation.

The matches count (and so does TARS)!

Beyond the social experience, there’s an extra advantage: Matchmaker matches count toward your TARS (Tieplayer rating).

That means it’s not just a casual match — it has real impact.

Every game recorded via Matchmaker contributes to your statistical progress inside the app, ensuring your level is adjusted fairly based on your real performance over time.

And if you’re having an off day?
No stress: activate Boosts and protect your TARS.
This way, you can keep experimenting without fear of dropping in the rankings.

Matchmaker was built to promote healthy competitiveness — without unnecessary pressure.

Book. Play. Repeat. (Really, repeat.)

Summer has this energy: everything happens faster, lighter.
Matchmaker keeps up — whether for last-minute evening games or weekend morning marathons.

It’s ideal for people with irregular schedules or those who want to play several times a week without depending on the same group.

Just open the app, explore Matchmaker and challenge a new duo.

In a few taps, you’re already on court.

And yes, Open Games are still there.
But Matchmaker filters player level even better, increasing the chance of balanced — and more fun — matches.

Matchmaker builds community too!

Some people think padel is all about hitting the ball hard.
But in truth, much of its charm comes from the pre- and post-match experience — the quick chats, the friendly rivalries, the vibes between points.

And summer, with more free time, more daylight and more motivation, is fertile ground for creating new connections on court.

Matchmaker isn’t just a practical tool — it’s a bridge.
How many friends have you made by playing with someone you didn’t know an hour earlier?

Random summer games can turn into long-term partnerships.
Or funny stories.
Or both.

Your summer partner (and maybe a long-term one)

If summer is the time to try new things, Matchmaker is your social passport to the court.

It might start as plan B.
But many already know the truth: the best duos… sometimes happen by accident.
And that “accident” has a name — and an algorithm.

Matchmaker is available all year round.
But in summer, it shines the brightest.
Because groups fail. But the app doesn’t.
