The coach of the France team padel, Patrick Fouquet, as well as the captain of the men's team, Alexis Salles, made the list of the selected men of Team France Padel for the qualifications for the 2018 World Cup which will take place next November in Paraguay:

  • Tison / Maigret
  • Blanqué / Bergeron
  • Haziza / Scatena
  • Ritz / Moreau

This selection has been validated by the Executive Committee of the French Tennis Federation (COMEX).

Jérôme Ferrandez: The great absent

Obviously, in this selection, there are disappointments, starting with the great absent from this selection: Jérome Ferrandez. However, Jérémy Ritz's partner was not unworthy during the last Open at Cap d'Agde or during previous competitions.

His level of play is very competitive and his fighting spirit is irreproachable.

For Alexis Salles and Patrick Fouquet, Maxime Moreau is a player to be selected for the moment. He trains in Spain and his level of play for several weeks is very interesting for Team France.

This time, it is therefore Jérôme Ferrandez's turn not to be on the list of the France team of padel. Remember, a few months ago during the European Championships of padel in Lisbon, it was Jérôme Ferrandez who took the place of Cédric Carité to play with Loïc Le Panse while the Carité / Le Panse pair came third at the 3 French championships.

"Nothing definite"

The coach said it and repeated:

The team Padel France for the qualifications will not necessarily be that for the finals in Paraguay.

The players still have until next September to show that they can be part of the final list for the global 2018.
