Precocity is increasingly common among high-level athletes, but the longevity of the best is becoming a factor of recognition. Even today, players aged over 40 are among the top 100 French padel players. We decided to pick 4 well-known players from the French circuit.

Forty-somethings represented

Matthew Armagnac, born in 1983, is making a name for himself on the circuit. Currently the 47th French player and sometimes associated with Morgan Mannarino, it remains efficient in competition.

Johan romanowski, 44 years old (born in 1980), is still in the top 100. The former 7th French player continues to play and enjoy himself on the courts. He reached the quarter-finals of the P1000 Open TSB Valenciennes alongside Éric Quillet.

Florent Thevenot, at 45, continues his journey in padel. Currently the 96th French player, he stands out alongside former top French padel players, such as Benjamin Tison et Adrien Maigret, on some P1000 tournaments. With Adrien, he had reached the final of the P1000 Stadium of Caen last December.

Cyril Hanouna: 50 years old and still here

The star presenter of TPMP, always tries to progress Padel. He is one of the oldest players in the Top 100. In his fifties (1974), he continues on the circuit alongside the best padel players. At the beginning of January, he was alongside Johan Bergeron, the 4th French player, on the P1000 Set Padel Narbonne. Cyril Hanouna, today 71st French player, was accompanied for a long time by Teo Zapata, 34th world player.

Cyril Hanouna wins his first P500! And Teo Zapata too!

I took a bubble in my first tournament Padel. Since then, it has become a passion,
with one goal: to never again finish a game without scoring a goal. This sport is
now an integral part of my life, to the point of leaving feathers there. I often burn myself
elbows trying to catch all the balls. "A true love story."
