There will be  three French  in the main men's draw  Riyadh Season P1 , first tournament  Premier Padel  of the season, organized in Saudi Arabia.

Despite a  defeat in three sets  facing the number 2 seed in qualifying,  Bastien Blanqué  et  Dylan Guichard  have been  drafted as lucky losers  and will ultimately be included in the main draw. The French pair had lost to  Marc Quílez / Federico Mouriño , but takes advantage of a withdrawal to continue the adventure.

A challenging but accessible first round

In the first round,  Blanqué / Guichard  will face  Facundo Domínguez  et  Juan Cruz Belluati .
Although the French are not considered favorites, the opposition remains  opened , notably against the left-handed Belluati and Domínguez, a former partner of  Jérémy Scatena A match to be played, in a context of early season where the benchmarks are still being adjusted for many pairs.

The meeting is scheduled  around 19pm (21pm local time)  and will be  to follow live on the YouTube channel of Premier Padel .

Thomas Leygue was also present

Another Frenchman entered in the main draw:  Thomas Leygue associated as with  FIP Platinum Marseille  in Portuguese  Nuno deus . The Franco-Portuguese duo will try to start in the 2nd rotation against Enrique Goenaga / Aimar Goni Lacabe around noon.
