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 .

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.

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 !
