Four 'Super Seniors' Featured in New British Documentary

The "Super Seniors" are a remarkable group of octogenarians and nonagenarians featured in a life-affirming documentary by tennis player turned Wimbledon commentator and TV presenter Dan Lobb.

"Super Seniors" follows these inspiring athletes who refuse to retire their rackets:

• 95-year-old Ukrainian Leonid Stanislavskyi, Guinness World Record holder as the oldest competitive tennis player in the world;

• 82-year-old French fashionista and athlete extraordinaire Etty Marouani;

• 85-year-old American King Van Nostrand, who holds a record 43 world titles; and

• John Powless, the 87-year-old American tennis ace, basketball player and inspiration, who tragically passed away not long after the film was made.

The documentary features this fearsome foursome as they descend on the International Tennis Federation Senior World Championship from across the globe.

They're just a handful of the 585 Super Seniors participating in the epic tournament, which with more than 800 matches played, is larger than Wimbledon.

"Super Seniors" can be seen on various streaming services, including Apple TV.
