Touching the net or reaching over it loses the point
Padel rules · Faults
You lose the point if you, your racket or your clothing touches the net while the ball is in play, or if you hit the ball on the opponent’s side of the net (reaching over). You may follow through over the net after a legal contact on your own side.
