French padel may have found one of its next big names. At only 17 years , Olivier Guy de Chamisso has just joined for the first time in his career the FIP World Top 300 .
Thanks to the eight points collected during the FIP Silver Höganäs , the young Frenchman wins 18 seats this week and now occupies the 297th place in the world .
A new step in the meteoric rise of the French left-hander.
A valuable round of 16 appearance in Sweden
Associated to Manuel Vives Olivier Guy de Chamisso had a great week at FIP Silver Höganäs .
The two Frenchmen reached the round of 16 before falling to the strong Swedish pair composed of Daniel Windahl and Simon Vasquez , seeded No. 7 in the tournament.
A logical defeat against players accustomed to major international events, but a run that allows the Frenchman to continue to accumulate valuable FIP points.
The turning point at FIP Bronze Marnes
But if there's one tournament that marked a turning point in his young career, it's the FIP Bronze Marnes disputed two weeks ago.
Alongside Jeremy Robert Olivier Guy de Chamisso had caused a sensation by winning his first title on the international circuit.
An exceptional run for an unseeded pair who had successively eliminated the No. 8 and No. 11 seeds before pulling off a huge upset in the semi-final against the No. 4 seed. Juan Zamora Perez and Alejandro Garcia .
In the final, the two Frenchmen confirmed their full potential by dominating the No. 3 seed, Nicolas Zurita and Samuel Rivas Garcia , on the score of 6 / 3 6 / 4 .
A landmark victory that has definitively drawn attention to the young Frenchman.
A gem in full explosion
At just 17 years old, Olivier Guy de Chamisso is already impressing with the maturity of his game.
Left-footed, very aggressive, and capable of accelerating at any moment, he also possesses a large physical presence and the ability to cause problems in attack. His explosiveness and striking ability already allow him to compete with much more experienced players.
His entry into the world's Top 300 is probably just one step in a progression that seems far from over.
Heading towards Bandol
No time to savor the moment for the young Frenchman.
Starting this week, he will be back on the circuit for the FIP Silver Bandol where he will find Manuel Vives .
The pair will be among the teams to watch with a status of seed n ° 13 in a particularly open table.
Another opportunity for Olivier Guy de Chamisso to confirm his excellent momentum and continue his progress in the world rankings.
I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
