In this second stage of FFT Padel Tour which will take place in Esprit Padel Lyon from May 10 to 12, group stages have never been so noted for men. Note that there will be 2 hens in the ladies, which is a good thing compared to the first stage in 4PADEL Valenciennes.

We will necessarily focus on the men's group stages. It is therefore about 4 hens made up of 4 pairs each. And in these pools, we find ourselves with the Lyon pair Sanchez / Joulot (114), seeded 21 out of 36! No it's not a joke, we have to go back to their beginning in the padel to see them play a group stage. They are in Pool A and barring a course error or injury, they will be found in the main draw. With a favorable draw, many main draw pairs will fall to the home pair. Woe to the one who falls on it in the first round of the final stages.

The other hens are much more balanced. Pool B illustrates this perfectly with the Gay / Toniutti pair who will have to fight to impose their rank of seed 1 in the pool. Boronad / Loupetis and especially the pair Groll / Garcia, undercut, in our opinion, have every chance to try to win in Pool B.

In Pool C, if Thevenot / Fanet is seeded 1 of their Pool, they are not necessarily the favorite. The 4 pairs are held in a pocket square. We can clearly see the Tap / Nicol pair, in 3rd position, making a move. Much will depend on Erwan Nicol's form and his smash machine. The Kusaj / Cordero pair can obviously create a semi-surprise in this pool located in position 4. Michael Kusaj, 279th French player is clearly undercut.

In Pool D, it is perhaps the least dense pool on paper. But we will finally be able to see Patrick Fouquet, the ladies captain of the France team of padel associated with the no less known, the left-hander Arnaud Taboni. Parisians Fabien Veber and Laurent Michel will be the ts1 of Pool D. Watch out for Faure / Boch and the artists Perreon / Spanelis. If the Fouquet / Taboni pair are 100% operational, they could get away with it. But the matches will certainly be very close in this pool.

Start of matches at 16h!
