Beginning of hostilities tomorrow for the first stage of the FFT Padel Tour the 4PADEL de Valenciennes, the elite circuit of padel French. This will be the first P2000 in the history of padel in France. 5 stages will follow and a Master in Marseille to conclude the first edition. Focus on the strengths in attendance, ladies and gentlemen.

The quality of the paintings remind us of these first P1000 set up by the FFT there is 2 / 3 years. In ladies as in men, many have moved for this first stage.

Devos / Val: the hen's favorites

In gentlemen, the qualifying stages start on Friday 16h. These are 4 hens of 4 players.

A pair was particularly to avoid in these chickens, the Nordic pair Devos / Val, still poorly ranked despite its great performances on the circuit. This is one of the pairs in the form of the moment, always winner or finalist in general in the P500. Placed in Hen C, she is the big favorite. For pairs that start in the main draw, it will also be the pair to avoid.

In Pool A, a priori, the pair Gay / Thevenot should pass unhindered. In Pool B, the pair Dubourg / Oudart who favorite part of his hen will have a dangerous match against the pair Veber / Revol, a duel of Parisians.

In Pool C, there will certainly be a good confrontation between Louvel / Binisti and Derouvroy / Hernan. The pair Devos / Val seems too much in this hen.

Finally, watch out for Pool D. The 1 seed of Lecomte / Deregnaucourt could have a huge game against Grol / Garcia. On paper, the very offensive game of Grol / Garcia could hurt in this hen.

Mai Vo and Amelie Feaugas in ambush?

If the men have been relatively well served in P1000 since the start of the season, the best French players have only had one P1000 to get their teeth into (at Tennis Padel Sun) at the start of the year. The pair that will no longer be able to play the surprise effect card: Mai Vo and Amélie Feaugas. She caused a sensation by delivering a very high quality performance to Beausoleil. She is not even a seed when she is one of the favorites of this tournament ...

Since Alix Collombon, Laure Clergue and Jessica Ginier are not present, this leaves inevitably room for some pairs to go to the end in this tournament.

We necessarily think about the pair Godallier / Martin, our 100% French pair who started on the pro circuit, seeded 1, who will nevertheless have a difficult journey to get to the end with a possible confrontation in the semi-final against the Franco-English pair: Norton / Clement.

At the top of the table, the 2 seed, Lovera / Casanova at the peak of the pair Meites / Ligi in the semifinals.

But beware, in girls, there are very beautiful people and we do not know yet where will be placed for example Soubrié / Vandaele, River / Maligo et Majdoubi / Ryckaert.

The ladies' table starts on Saturday at 11h.

Scatena / Bernils, the favorite pair of the painting?

We will not lie to you: The lower part of the table gentlemen is just dantesque. We have certainly never seen this in the history of padel French.

We will start with the pair very fit international moment, Jérémy Scatena and Mark Bernils. The Franco-Spanish pair makes a very good start to the season in Spain. On paper, and because we want to take risks, the Franco-Spanish pair seems slightly favorite.

But she finds herself in the death table game with a quarter-final against Benito brothers (Xavi and Jorge)... Players of the level of World Padel Tour. It will be a showdown worthy of a preprevia final of the World Padel Tour.

It will be the 1/4 not to be missed under any circumstances, scheduled for Saturday at 20:15 p.m.

Still in the bottom of the table, we have the undefeated pair in France: Benjamin Tison and Adrien Maigret, seeded 1, who could play in the quarter-finals against the very dangerous pair Cédric Carité and Jose Luis Lara Salines. The little riddle is the level of play of Cédric Carité. We know very dangerous, able to beat the best. But he could be faced with a pair of Parisian sharp and trained who plays very quickly. He will not have time to make his mark.

The top of the table is not to be outdone with prestigious headliners: Our French champions of padel In title, Bastien Blanqué and Johan Bergeron are the favorites of their table party. Despite a complicated start to the season on the professional circuit, our French rely on the French circuit to launch their season. We can see an explosive semi-final against Ritz / Moreau... but with the pairs Huet / Auradou et Boissé / The Panse, the surprise is never too far away.

Competition but not that!
