Recently, while vacationing in Ibiza this summer, the Brazilian was spotted on a tennis court with a racket in hand. Overall, padel is quite popular among footballers, with many famous players taking part in the game.

It’s worth noting that the 23-year-old Spaniard Arturo Coello is currently the world’s No. 1 ranked padel player. He began his professional career in 2019, and by 2023, at just 21 years old, he climbed to the top of the world rankings, becoming the youngest player in the padel tour to achieve this feat.
