Le Betclic Bordeaux Premier Padel P2 starts this Sunday with the first round of men's qualifications and the program already promises a big day for French padel.
Many French athletes will be on the track from the start Q1 with several high-profile matches, some games that look more open on paper, and a live broadcast to follow on Padel MagTV .
Centre court: six matches featuring several French pairs
Le central court will kick off the day at 10 hrs with a very interesting first poster for Julien Seurin / Johan Bergeron The two French players will face the Spanish. German Rodriguez Quesada / Manuel Valcarcel Sanchez A match that looks quite manageable on paper for the French pair, who will clearly have a chance to reach the second round of qualifying.
In the wake, Thomas Leygue / Javier Valdés will have a more difficult start against the Spanish Teodoro Zapata / Adrian Naranjo Martinez A real test of skill for the Franco-Chilean pair.
Third match on Centre Court: the wildcards Lucas Pillon / Philémon Raichman will challenge the number 8 seed from the qualifiers, Juan Cruz Belluati / Ignacio Sager A very big match for the two Frenchmen, against an experienced pair.
The fourth match on Centre Court will involve Maxime Joris / Bastien Blanqué , opposed to Karlos Rodriguez Vidal / Nicolas Peña Ruiz Here too, the French can aim for victory, in a match that seems attainable if they manage to impose their rhythm.
Then, Thomas Vanbauce , associated to Lucas Miranda Santos will face the Portuguese Pedro Araujo / Pedro Graça A complicated first round, but not impossible for the Franco-Spanish wildcard.
Finally, the day on Centre Court will end with a very big match: Adrien Maigret / Benjamin Tison face Pedro Perry / Miguel Lamperti A particularly challenging start for the French, facing a very experienced pair, but there is a possibility of victory.
Court 2: Muesser / Hugounenq against Axelsson / Coello

Where to watch the matches?
All the encounters of this Q1 of Bordeaux P2 will be followed live on Padel MagTV .
With so many French players on the court from the first day, this qualifying day looks like a real launch for the Bordeaux tournament.
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 !
