Just as it is possible to play the World Padel Tour when measuring less than 1m60, a player of more than 2m is quite capable of performing in this sport.

Le padel, is a magical sport, in which a man of 1m59 and another of 2m03 can be professional. Among the tall players well known to the public, we can cite Fernando Poggi (1m94), Rafa Mendez (1m97), or even Christian Fuster (1m90), or the young Arturo Coello (also 1m90). Austrian Christoph Krenn (140th WPT), and who has already crossed paths with our French in preprevias, is, from the top of his 2m02, almost the tallest player to have played the World Padel Tour.

It is 1cm less than Javier Concepción (2m03), the tallest player to have played in the World Padel Tour. Former very good tennis player in the youth categories, the Spanish giant was part, with Uri Botello, one of the top 15 pairs in the WPT.

The one who also played with Gabi Reca or Federico Quiles was a big smacker, very solid at the net, and necessarily less comfortable for low defenses. This did not prevent him from having a very good career, which was arrested very early, at 27, when he was 37 th in the WPT ranking. Concepcion explained at the time that the padel professional did not bring in enough money and he preferred to devote himself to a normal job, he who had made brilliant studies.

Proof once again that we can be very good at padel whatever its size. For those who do not know him, here is a video of the victory of Concepcion and Quiles against Moyano / Grabiel, in 2016.
