A few days ago, we revealed to you the  full list of qualified pairs  for  French Championships , which will be held at  brand new Casa Padel Kingersheim (Grand Est)  du  19 21 in September 2025 .

As for  female , all the  best French players  will be there. On the other hand, among the  Men , a series of major injuries comes  tarnish the composition of the final painting .

Thomas Leygue officially withdrawn

The big absentee from this 2025 edition is  Thomas Leygue ,  triple reigning French champion  et  n ° 1 French The neo-Madridian has  ruptured the Achilles tendon  when  Major of Rome  and will therefore be  forfeit for the rest of the season .

This injury changes the situation:  Bastien Blanqué , his historic partner in the French team, finds himself  alone at only two months old  of the competition. For now, it  did not communicate  on his intentions regarding a possible replacement.

A Wild Card, the only option for Blanqué

The only possibility for  Bastien Blanqué  to integrate the 2025 French Championships is to  submit a Wild Card request . The FFT awards each year  two Wild Cards  to anticipate possible forfeits or injuries.

However, even if the rule is not formulated in an absolute manner, it seems unlikely that the French championship committee would grant a wild card to a player who has already taken part in the regional championships.

Blanqué / Molinero, the logical option?

The Marseillais  Nicolas Molinero  is he too  without partner , following the package of Alexander Toppin . Like the Blanqué / Leygue pair, they were part of the  automatically qualified .

An association  Blanqué / Molinero  therefore seems coherent. Molinero,  solid right-hand player , could perfectly complement Blanqué's qualities  left side . A pragmatic solution two months before kick-off. However, this hypothesis remains uncertain: Molinero having played in the regional championships, it seems difficult to imagine that the committee would grant him a wild card, given the line usually followed in this type of situation.

Blanqué / Bergeron? Unlikely

Track  Blanqué / Bergeron  had been mentioned for a while. But  Johan Bergeron  is  already registered  with  Thomas Vanbauce , despite the latter's recent injury.

Asked by  Padel Magazine  on the sidelines of  Bordeaux P2 , the Bordeaux resident has  confirmed that he would be present  in Kingersheim. He should formalize his participation in the coming weeks.

Rouanet / Vincent: the FIP circuit bet

Other potentially missing pair:  Nicolas Rouanet and Pierre Vincent . Real  outsiders , both players chose to  devote entirely to the FIP circuit  this season.

They even have  waived the regional championships  to dispute the  Bordeaux P2 qualifications , thus compromising their place in the French Championships.

A choice  risky but thoughtful  ? Perhaps they were counting on a  Wild Card , in recognition of their  commitment to the international circuit . But with  only two invitations available ,  the competition is going to be tough .

A highly sought-after meeting

The  French Championships  are considered by players as  the most important event of the year on French soil . Wild Cards will be rare and expensive, and  each major absence could reshuffle the cards  in the quest for the national title.
