The first  directly qualified pairs  for  French Senior Championships 2026  (October 2-4, location to be determined) are now known. Unsurprisingly, a majority of  usual duos of the circuit , with some interesting adjustments.

 In the men's race: a solid performance and the return of Leygue/Blanqué 

On the men's side, there were few surprises in the lineups. The best French pairs are all there, including the return of  Thomas Leygue / Bastien Blanqué , an association that is bound to speak out.

Qualified pairs:

  •  Bastien Blanque / Thomas Leygue 
  •  Johan Bergeron / Timéo Fonteny 
  •  Julien Seurin / Thomas Vanbauce 
  •  Maxime Forcin / Maxime Joris 
  •  Pierre Perez Le Tiec / Nicolas Rouanet 
  •  Manuel Vives / Dylan Guichard 
  •  Yanis Muesser / Philemon Raichman 
  •  Yoan Boronad / Jérémy Robert 
  •  Alexis Coulombeau / Arthur Hugounenq 
  •  Pierre Vincent / Damien Bayard 
  •  Damien Lozano / Isaac Huysveld 
  •  Adrien Maigret / Benjamin Tison 

Overall, we remain on the topic of  pairs seen all season , with just one notable adjustment:  Pierre Perez Le Tiec  et  Damien Lozano  they will not play together, each playing with a different partner.

 In the women's race: Godallier / Touly are the favorites 

In women, the notable absence of  Alix Collombon  slightly reshuffles the cards at the top of the table.

At the top, we find a pair that inevitably attracts attention:  Léa Godallier / Carla Touly On paper, they clearly start out as the  tournament favorites .

Qualified pairs:

  •  Carla Touly / Léa Godallier 
  •  Camille Sireix / Melissa Martin 
  •  Lucile Pothier / Louise Bahurel 
  •  Marie-Amélie Dardaine / Clara Mansart 
  •  Jennifer Denecheau / Nada Majdoubi 
  •  Alexise Duchene / Charlyne Tonda 
  •  Lou Lambert Agosti / Kimy Barla 
  •  Fiona Ligi / Charlotte Soubrié 
  •  Elodie Invernon / Steffi Merah 
  •  Alison Casalli de Lima / Laurine Bergaud 
  •  Julie Pecastaing / Joanna Bougon 
  •  Cassandra Senjean / Manon Marcarie 

Behind them, several solid and homogeneous pairs, but only on paper,  Godallier / Touly  seem to have a head start.

 A list that is subject to change 

These 12 pairs in men and women constitute the  first teams automatically admitted Others will complete the picture, among others.  qualifications  and possible adjustments.

The casting is therefore starting to take shape for these  French Championships 2026 with a solid foundation already in place… and still some unknowns to come.

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 !
