A new pair has appeared on the list of registered players.  FIP Silver Narbonne  :  Benjamin Tison  et  Ferran Insa  will compete together in a few weeks on the Aude tracks.

An unprecedented partnership between the former French number 1 and the Spaniard, currently on the verge of...  world top 100 .

A great opportunity for Tison

Having retired from the professional circuit two seasons ago,  Benjamin Tison  He nevertheless continues to participate occasionally in some international competitions, mainly in France.

Even when far from the rhythm of the circuit all year round, the Frenchman remains competitive. He demonstrated this again recently during the  FIP Bronze from Marnes-la-Coquette where he had a very successful career alongside Adrien Maigret The two men had reached the quarter-finals and had come very close to qualifying for the semi-finals, losing in three sets to the 4th seed.  Zamora / Garcia .

Former  57rd player in the world , the best ranking ever achieved by a Frenchman, Tison maintains a level of play which still allows him to compete with many players on the FIP circuit.

Ferran Insa, a rapidly growing partner

For this meeting in Narbonne, he will be partnered with  Ferran Insa , currently  102th in the world .

The Spaniard is far from unknown to the French public. He had notably shared the track with  Thomas Leygue  during the 2023 season and regularly crosses paths with French players on the international circuit.

Since the beginning of the year, Insa has been racking up good performances. In particular, it has won a  FIP Bronze in Egypt , reached several semi-finals on the FIP circuit and had a great run at  Newgiza P2 where he reached the round of 32.

This consistency has allowed him to get closer to the world's top 100.

Already seeded No. 2

With one day remaining before registration closes,  Tison and Insa are currently the number 2 seeds in the tournament .

In front of them, only the pair composed of  Juan Ignacio Rubini  et  Maxi Sanchez  currently has a better combined ranking.

Even though the list of entrants could still change, this position opens up promising prospects for the Franco-Spanish duo. In a tournament held in France, just a few kilometers from the  My Center Academy , where Benjamin Tison coaches daily, there is a great opportunity to go for a big result.

One thing is certain: this association between the Frenchman's experience and Ferran Insa's current dynamism will be one of the attractions of this  FIP Silver Narbonne .

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 !
