The list of 12 male pairs automatically qualified for the  2025 French Senior Championship  padel of the  19 21 in September 2025  has several big surprises in store. While the presence of the Blanqué/Leygue pair at the top of the seeding doesn't surprise anyone, other new combinations are attracting attention:  Maxime Joris aligned on the left alongside Julien Seurin ,  Johan Bergeron who will play with Thomas Vanbauce , or  the Adrien Maigret / Jérémy Scatena association .

Classic for the ladies

There are no real surprises to report among the women's competition. Headliners like  Collombon / Godallier ,  Touly / Ginier Barbier  or,  Denecheau / Bergaud  occupy the top positions, faithfully reflecting the national ranking. The best French players will be present, combined as planned.

Guichard / Vives: the Daltons in the lead 2nd series

On the male side, the changes are much more striking. If the  seeded 1  stays true to herself with the pair  Blanqué / Leygue  is  second place in the table  which attracts attention. We find there the  Team Dalton ,  Dylan Guichard and Manuel Vives .

Joris on the left: a real surprise

Le  most surprising choice  concerned  Maxime Joris , a player renowned as one of the best French players in  post on the right , which will be associated with the left-hander  Julien Seurin …on the right. Even though Joris has already played on the left, he is now considered  essential in its register  on the right. This setup might be experimental, but it won't go unnoticed.

Bergeron with Vanbauce, an unexpected duo

En  seeded 4 , we initially expected  Johan Bergeron  next to  Dylan Guichard . Finally, it is a  association with Thomas Vanbauce  which is official. Vanbauce was initially supposed to team up with  Simon Wagner , but he therefore finds a more experienced player, and  Bergeron naturally returns to his position on the right .

Firebrand returns, Maigret sets the tone

The return of  Benjamin Tison , associated to  Maxime Forcin Was  expected , and this pair could well play the spoilsport. This is in any case what Adrien Maigret explained to us, who believes that this is the most dangerous pair behind Blanqué / Leygue.

As for the Parisian,  Adrien Maigret , he will play with another returnee and former member of the French team:  Jérémy Scatena . The pair is positioned at the  11th place .

A redistribution of the cards

As a direct result of these choices:

  •  Simon Wagner , initially expected to play with Vanbauce, will finally play with  Philemon Raichman .
  • The pair  Wagner / Raichman  will therefore be there  pair 10 .
  •  Jerome Inzerillo  who no longer plays with Adrien Maigret, will have to go through the qualifying stages if he hopes to play a role in the final stages.
  • Finally  Nicolas Molinero and Alexandre Toppin  complete the list to the  12th position .
