Le  main draw of the Alpine Paris Major  The action really gets underway this Tuesday at Roland-Garros. And the French will be particularly in the spotlight: the  Five matches scheduled at Philippe-Chatrier will feature a Frenchman , with  Léa Godallier, Thomas Leygue, Carla Touly, Alix Collombon and Dylan Guichard On court 7,  Louise Bahurel  will also try to take advantage of a favorable draw against a pair coming through the qualifiers.

12pm – Godallier / Valenzuela to kick off the day

It is  Léa Godallier / Daiara Valenzuela  who will have the honor of opening the Philippe-Chatrier to  12 hrs  face  Marta Borrero / Teresa Navarro .

A very evenly matched first round. Godallier/Valenzuela are coming off a Madrid P1 tournament where they qualified before being eliminated in the first round. Against Borrero/Navarro, the French and Argentinian pair will need to put in a strong performance to advance to the next round.

In the event of a victory, they would regain  Alejandra Salazar / Aranza Osoro (TS8) .

Leygue/Moya want to continue their winning streak after qualifying.

In the wake,  Thomas Leygue / Jesús Moya  will already be back at Philippe-Chatrier, less than 24 hours after securing their qualification for the main draw there.

They will be opposed to  David Gala / Enzo Jensen .

After two qualifying matches, including a grueling two-hour battle on Monday against Aragón/Roglan, the physical challenge will also be significant for Leygue/Moya. However, the draw presents them with an interesting opportunity, and even though they are far from being favorites, spurred on by the French crowd, they can dream of an upset. The Frenchman arrives with match fitness and confidence, unlike his opponents who are only just beginning their tournament.

Touly / Clasca against Gómez / Polo

Third French player expected on center court:  Carla Toully , associated with  Xenia Clasca Vidiella The two players, who received wild cards, will face  Mónica Gómez / Julia Polo .

Here again, the draw offers hope to the Franco-Spanish pair. Gómez/Polo remain dangerous, of course, but Touly/Clasca avoid more challenging pairs in their opening match and will have a real chance of advancing to the next round.

The reward would be significant:  Marina Guinart / Alejandra Alonso (TS7)  in the next round.

Not before 18 p.m. – Collombon/Sharifova favorites

 Alix Collombon / Ksenia Sharifova  will enter the track  not before 18 p.m.  face  Marta Arellano / Marina Lobo .

On paper, this is probably the match where the French camp has the most guarantees. Collombon/Sharifova come from Madrid, where they won their first round match before losing to Bea González/Paula Josemaría.

The Franco-Russian pair will start as favorites, but will need to avoid being caught out in a match where they have more to lose. A victory could open the door to a second-round match against...  Carolina Orsi / Patricia Llaguno Zielinski (TS13) .

Not before 20 p.m. – Guichard / Geens to finish the day

The day at Philippe-Chatrier will end  not before 20 p.m.  with  Dylan Guichard / Clement Geens , opposed to  Santiago Pineda / Javier Ruiz .

Guichard/Geens arrive with a lot of confidence after their superb  Madrid P1 Having come through qualifying, they had notably beaten  Víctor Ruiz / Mario Ortega  before pushing  Maxi Arce / Juan Tello  in a close match.

Guichard has also just reached his best ranking with a  85th place in the world Against Pineda/Ruiz, both players will have another opportunity to confirm their current form.

And the stakes are high: in the event of a victory, they would regain  Juan Lebrón / Leo Augsburger (TS3) .

Louise Bahurel has a real opportunity on court 7

We will also need to monitor the  short 7 Where  Louise Bahurel / Ivet Val López Invited to the main draw, will play  not before 17 p.m.  against the qualified teams  Camila Ramme / Brittany Dubins .

On paper, Bahurel/Val López aren't necessarily the favorites. But for a wild card in a Major,  the draw is particularly interesting  : they avoid a strong pair and face a pair who had to go through the qualifiers.

There is therefore a real opportunity for Bahurel to go for a victory in the main draw at Roland-Garros. If he succeeds, the level of competition would rise significantly.  Claudia Jensen / Tamara Icardo (TS6) .

The program for the French this Tuesday

 Philippe-Chatrier – from 12pm: 
 Léa Godallier / Daiara Valenzuela vs Marta Borrero / Teresa Navarro 
Then:  Thomas Leygue / Jesús Moya vs David Gala / Enzo Jensen

So, one day  almost entirely devoted to the French side of the central with six pairs including at least one French player involved and several early rounds where real opportunities exist.

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 !
