The French champion of padel Alix Collombon has remained discreet for the moment on the choice of its new equipment supplier. Indeed, after an exceptional adventure spent alongside Head Padel, the French n ° 1 internationally will start the season with a new pala. Yes but which one?

If for the moment, neither the brand nor the player concerned have communicated on this subject, we have decided to play the analysts and forecast a brand: Wilson Padel.

Why Wilson Padel ?

Wilson Padel hit hard by securing the services of the legend of padel worldwide: Fernando Belasteguin. Not to mention the establishment of a tailor-made range linked to the champion.

Pablo Lijo and Nicole Traviesa were already there. To complete this team, Wilson Padel could afford a player much appreciated by fans of padel and who also has a lot of international potential: Alix Collombon!

A player of World Padel Tour which dominates the French circuit (despite its defeat at P2000 at the Club des Pyramides) and which could offer us a very interesting year 2021 with the World Padel Tour, but also with a priori the main international events such as the European Championships and the 2021 World Cup.

And given the strong links that existed between Head Padel and Alix, it is difficult to see the French number one launching with an equipment manufacturer who does not have very strong backs at all levels. Wilson seems to tick all the boxes at this point.

The signs…

You know that at Padel Magazine, we like to analyze the smallest signs that we can find. And we start to know Wilson well Padel, a very skilled brand in terms of communication.

Since its return to the forefront, in addition to the campaigns on the Ultra Tour of Nicole Traviesa, the American brand has remained rather discreet in terms of communication aimed at women. However, in the space of a few weeks, she gave us several visuals of players from padel with Blades or Pro Staff.

Is she preparing the ground? For us, it is very likely! Alix's announcement to say she will switch brands in 2021 could fit perfectly with this desire on the part of Wilson to position itself in the female market.

We can say it: in 2021, women will be in the spotlight at Wilson.

Which racket?

If Alix joins Wilson, which racquet will she play with in 2021?

On the side of the Bela range, we see more the Bela Team or the Bela Elite, more flexible than the Bela Pro. Even if it is hard to believe that Alix will play with one of these palas: it is a range rather oriented for men and which does not necessarily need another representative than Fernando Belasteguin himself . Wilson Padel would seem rather to have an interest in strengthening its other models.

Moreover, this is what the American brand did with the Spanish player Pablo Lijó who plays with the Wilson Blade Tour. For us, Alix Collombon will probably choose a racket from the Blade Range, a perfect compromise between power and maneuverability.

Unless she sets her sights on a Pro Staff? To date, few great players play with this type of racket, which nevertheless has a lot to offer women. The Pro Staff range is made up of palas that provide a lot of control, and which, combined with the power of Alix on the right, could work wonders.
