Bernard Giudicelli returns to the position of the FFT for the associated disciplines, namely the padel, beach tennis and tennis. The scientific college logically influenced the decision of the FFT.

Le padel will not be authorized in phase 1 because “the absence of risk of contamination is not guaranteed”:

PADEL
----
Le Padel is traditionally played in doubles and it is impossible to guarantee in the game the physical distance of 2 meters between two partners.
Even in the event of a move towards singles, hand and / or body contact with the panes and grilles will be frequent. However, these surfaces can be contaminated at the points of impact of the opponent's bullets. The absence of risk of contamination is therefore not guaranteed.

BEACH TENNIS
--------
This sport is practiced in double which does not allow the respect of the measures of distancing.
In the case of practice in singles, physical exertion, the numerous contacts of the body, hands and sometimes the face with the sand, as well as the risk of projections of droplets of salivary secretion, nasal or throat on the sand also make the unthinkable beach tennis in phase 1.

SHORT PALM GAME
------------
The short palm game is only played in indoor rooms. Government measures to resume sports activities only allow individual outdoor disciplines in phase 1.

Under these conditions, for liability, the COMEX followed the recommendation of the scientific college NOT to authorize the practice of these disciplines in phase 1
