#1 Paolo Maldini - Tennis
One of the greatest football players of his position and his generation, Maldini belonged to the golden era of AC Milan football players, where he was branded as 'The Captain', for his ultimate leadership qualities both on and off the pitch. A feared defender, he set the bar high enough for other defenders to not easily reach.

Post-retirement, Maldini works with AC Milan as their sporting strategy and development director, and that is pretty obvious for a 50-year-old.
However, what surprised us the most, is the fact that Maldini qualified himself for a tennis tournament - The Aspira Tennis Cup, which was held in Milan, Italy. Albeit, he wasn't alone, as he participated in a doubles contest with another athlete. However, the duo was beaten in an unbelievable manner with a score of 6-1, 6-1 in 42 minutes.
Post that, Maldini was never seen playing tennis, as he now works with AC Milan.
