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.
Without the injuries he has experienced, there is a good chance that Juan Martin Diaz, 45 years old in November, and current 83rd, in this top 10. In the Top 100 of the WPT, we find others over 40 years old, like Marcello Jardim, 47 years old and still 60th, Fernando Poggi, 44 years old, 64th , Willy Lahoz, 49 years old and 88th!
The oldest player to have played on the World Padel Tour is nothing else that Roby Gattiker, soon 53 years old, 120th, with only two games played !
