Le World Padel Tour, led by a young guard more and more physical, still has a good number of forties in its ranks, some of whom are very well classified.

Unlike tennis, where Roger Federer is a UFO soon to be 38, at padel there is quite possible to be successful at 40 years old. There are also 4 forties in the Top 20, and 9 in the Top 50! Here is the current Top 10 of players who will be forty or more this year.

  1. Fernando Belasteguin: 41 years old in May, n ° 7
