Le  Paris Major  The competition shifts into high gear this Wednesday, September 9th, with the round of 32. After an emotionally charged first day for the French team,  Three Frenchmen will still be competing at Roland-Garros: Timéo Fonteny, Thomas Leygue and Dylan Guichard And the challenges will be significant.

The day will also mark the entry into competition of most of the top male seeds, including  Tapia / Coello, Galán / Chingotto, Lebrón / Augsburger, Stupaczuk / Sanz or even Yanguas / Nieto .

Fonteny / Moragues to confirm the feat on the Chatrier

 Timéo Fonteny / Nacho Moragues  will have the honor of playing at the Philippe-Chatrier stadium. Their match is scheduled for  second rotation starting at 12pm , just after the Tapia / Coello vs. Libaak / Alfonso match.

After their huge first round against  Álvaro Meléndez / José Luis González (6/1 6/4) The Frenchman and the Spaniard will try to continue their adventure against the  seeded 14, José Jiménez / Álex Arroyo .

This time, the level rises even further. Jiménez and Arroyo, in particular, are still in very good form.  Madrid P1 where they had defeated Stupaczuk/Sanz. Fonteny and Moragues will nevertheless arrive with a lot of confidence after their first-round performance. With the Chatrier crowd behind them, why not dream of another upset?

Guichard/Geens to dream against Lebrón/Augsburger

After their demonstration against  Santiago Pineda / Javi Ruiz (6/0 6/2) ,  Dylan Guichard / Clement Geens  will face a completely different challenge in the face of the  seeded 3, Juan Lebrón / Leo Augsburger .

The meeting is scheduled  not before 14:30 pm on the Philippe-Chatrier .

On paper, the task is daunting. But Guichard and Geens have just delivered an impressive performance, confirming their excellent form after Madrid. Facing Augsburger's power and Lebrón's experience, they will certainly need to produce a near-perfect match. At home, with the fans behind them, why not dream?

Leygue / Moya want to continue their journey

 Thomas Leygue / Jesús Moya  will they be on the  Court 7, not before 15pm , in front of the  seeded 13, Juanlu Esbrí / Carlos Daniel Gutiérrez .

After passing two qualifying rounds, the Franco-Spanish pair caused a sensation by dominating  David Gala / Enzo Jensen 7/6 6/4 .

Moya was impressive in the air, while Leygue delivered one of his best matches since his return. Esbrí/Gutiérrez will start as favorites, but the Frenchman and the Spaniard arrive with momentum, having already won three Roland-Garros titles.

Tapia / Coello open the Philippe-Chatrier

The show will begin immediately  12pm on the Philippe-Chatrier  with the number 1  Agustín Tapia / Arturo Coello And their first match won't necessarily be a formality, since they will face  Tino Libaak / Gonza Alfonso .

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 !
