This week, the vast majority of French players will be involved in the  FIP Bronze Marnes , which concentrates almost the entire French contingent. But several French players have chosen a different strategy with trips to  FIP Silver , tournaments that are more challenging but also much more rewarding in terms of FIP points.

 Guichard / Vives are aiming high in London 

Au  FIP Silver London France will be able to count on the French champion pair composed of  Dylan Guichard  et  Manuel Vives Seeded 9th, the two Frenchmen arrive with ambitions in a particularly competitive draw.

The level of play is expected to be very high in England, as the top five seeds include players from the world's top 60.

In the qualifying rounds, several French players will also try to reach the main draw. We will find  Benjamin Dufour associated with the Romanian  Horia Vladimir Nedelcu  and  Kevin Graff  with the British  Josh Kashdan .

But the main attraction on the French side will be the first appearance of the new association between  Alix Collombon  and the Russian  Ksenia Sharifova For their very first tournament together, they will arrive as the number 2 seeds.

A highly anticipated pairing that could quickly become one of the associations to watch on the women's circuit if the chemistry develops rapidly.

Still with the ladies,  Laura Buteau  will also be present with the British  Abigail Tordoff They will form pair number 16 in the Portuguese tournament.

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 !
