The kick-off of the French Interclub Championships National 1 in the ladies is given this morning at 9h , with quarter-finals that promise to be hard-fought.
On paper, the seeds 1 and 2 seem well on their way to avoiding the pitfalls of this first round. Big favorites , they could find themselves in the final again, like last year at Padel Horizon .
A complicated draw for TC Nice Giordan
Le TC Nice Giordan was not spared by the draw. Yet well armed with players like Géraldine Sorel, Marie Boura, Kimy Barla, Joanna Bougon, Julie Pecastaing and Alexia Dechaume , all classified in the french top 25 , the Nice team will have to face a real armada. Indeed, Toulouse Stadium (Casa Padel Toulouse) lines up an impressive squad, including the latest player to register, none other than Laura Clergue , current 20th French player . A match which therefore promises to be complicated for the Azuréennes against a Toulouse team with a formidable bench depth.
Palavas and Bandol well armed
On the side of palavas , the team composition is also impressive, notably led by Argentina Aranzazu Osoro , 18th player in the world Such a presence further strengthens the ambitions of the Hérault club.
Behind these favourites, some teams are still hoping to create a surprise. Bandol , for example, will be able to count on a waist support , with a real fan bus mobilized throughout the weekend to encourage his team.
Le Central Padel Club as an outsider
Also present in this competition, the Central Padel Club figure of little thumb against the big teams in the running. However, the team will be able to rely on Ainhoa Berecoechea (58th French) and Laura Maisonnave (60th French) . But is it enough? Faced with Bandol , the task seems arduous and the challenge may seem too great.
All In Padel Lyon, a nightmare draw
Despite a quality team, All In Padel Lyon inherited the worst possible draw by falling on the first lap on the tournament seed, Tennis Padel Club Palavas . With in its ranks Jessica Ginier and Helena Wickaert , the Lyon club had ambitions, but this confrontation promises to be extremely complicated. Faced with the power of Palavas , the chances of qualification seem slim for the Lyonnaises.
