The new ranking was released on Monday with, for the first time, more than 4000 ranked players (4068). As for girls, an 8% increase with 586 competitors in March against 539 in February clearly shows that there is a female audience that wants to compete and that female tournaments must be encouraged.

In men 3482 players have participated in at least 1 tournament over the last twelve months against 3317 the previous month which represents an increase of 4,9%.

  • Distribution of the Top 100

For both women and men, the Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur region is the one with the most representatives in the top 100. Ile de France is just behind in second place with 23 men and 19 women classified in the 100. Occitania for men takes 3rd place with 14 representatives. It shares 3rd place among women on a par with New Aquitaine.

This ranking shows that the dominant regions of padel French are those which historically have the largest number of fields and therefore organized tournaments.

  • At the girls

Almost no change in this top 20 dominated by Audrey Casanova before the champions of France Collombon and Ginier. Only Océane Kik wins a place to end up in the 11 rank.

The best progression or rather the best progress of the month are Sophie Gilbert and Dorine Rabas who win 40 places.

  • In boys

Bastien Blanque and Johan Bergeron are still firmly established in the first row with a large margin over the competition. No noticeable change even if Jose Luis Salines narrowly enters the top 10 with the same number of points as the recent winner of the P1000 My Padel Tour of Bordeaux Benjamin Tison.

The best progression is for Sylvain Gimenez Ubeda who enters the top 100 with a jump of 17 places in the standings.
