The final lists of  FIP Silver Bandol  have just been announced and the French tournament, scheduled for  June 1 to 7 promises a particularly interesting picture, for both men and women.

Between new French associations, young talents and a relatively open draw, several French players will clearly have a good chance.

 In the men's competition: an open field despite a clear favorite 

The number 1 seed will be the Spaniard  Francisco Cabeza Teres  and Paraguayan  Mariano Gonzalez San Martin , the only pair in the draw to feature two players from the world's Top 100.

Behind, the picture appears more open.

The second seed will be made up of Spaniards.  Pablo Sanchez Vicente  et  Adrian Naranjo Martinez .

The third seed will be  Guillermo Fernandez Sanchez  et  Alejandro Merino Nieto .

Finally, the fourth seed will consist of  Jaume Romera Barcelo  and Argentinian  Ignacio Archieri .

Even though there will be no French pairs in the top eight seeds, several French associations seem capable of achieving a great run in a relatively homogeneous draw.

 Many new French associations 

Among the new pairs expected are:

  •  Maxime Joris / Jérémy Robert  (TS9)
  •  Thomas Vanbauce / Philemon Raichman  (TS10)
  •  Arthur Hugounenq / Yanis Muesser  (TS11)
  •  Manuel Vives / Olivier Guy de Chamisso  (TS13)
  •  Lucas Pillon / Benjamin Tison  (TS14)

Several of these associations are directly linked to the recent changes in partners observed on the French circuit in recent weeks.

The duo  Vanbauce / Raichman  will be particularly observed after the split between Raichman and Muesser.

Same thing for  Joris / Robert , a very nice association on paper between a player already established on the FIP circuit and one of the most promising young French players of the moment.

The association between  Benjamin Tison  and the young  Lucas Pillon  also attracts a lot of attention after the very high level displayed by Tison at the FIP Bronze Marnes.

We will also find:

  •  Thomas Seux / Nathan Courrin  (a pair in good form to watch closely)
  •  Romain Sichez / Nathan Lambrechts 
  •  Julien Biron / Tristan Piombo 
  •  Kamel Mouimen / Bilal Duprat 
  •  Lucas Potel / Thomas Basso 

 Qualifications  :

  •  Pierre Perez Le Tiec / Guillaume Ledrap 
  •  Theo Suzanna / Rémy Gourre 
  •  Lucas Filippini / Mathis Maître 
  •  Sacha Huard de la Marre / Nathan Perrot 
  •  Louis Jover / Alexandre Toppin 
  •  Raphaël Rubio / Hugo Cazaban 
  •  Nicolas Escavabaja / Tom Taieb 
  •  Romain Vial / Benjamin Tullou

The women's draw will also include several ambitious French players.

The top seed will be the Spanish team.  Maria Eulalia Rodriguez Abajo  et  Noa Canovas Paredes .

The third seed will partner with the Italian  Lorena Vano  and the Spanish  Xenia Clasca Vidiella .

Finally, the fourth seed will consist of  Maria Teresa Moriñigo Gomez  et  Lucia Micaela Fernandez Lopez .

 French women to watch

  •  Lisa Rachel Phillips / Fiona Ligi  (TS7)
  •  Manon Marcarie / Cassandra Senjean  (TS8)

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 !
