It is done ! Coaches Robin Haziza and Alexis Salles have unveiled the lists of players who will represent the France team at the 2021 World Championship in Qatar.

At the girls

Among the ladies, here are the players who will fly to Qatar:

  • Alix COLLOMBON
  • Amelie DETRIVIERE
  • Lea GODALLIER
  • Elodie INVERNON
  • Fiona LIGI
  • Lucile POTHIER
  • Charlotte SOUBRIE
  • May VO

There are 5 players who were in the France team in recent years. They will bring all the experience necessary for this selection, as Robin Haziza emphasizes:

“Alix Collombon and Léa Godallier are champions of France and absolute leaders of the team. I kept the backbone of Marbella with Charlotte Soubrié who had a very good French championship and who largely deserves her place. Amélie Detrivière and Mai Vo also had a good French championship and are sure values ​​”.

To accompany them, three new ones will celebrate their first selection in Blue: Élodie Invernon, Fiona Ligi and Lucile Pothier. Present in Marbella, Wendy Barsotti, Mélissa Martin and Marianne Vandaele will not be part of the adventure this time. We imagine that the choices should not have been easy like Robin Haziza told us a few days ago.

“I integrated three new ones: Fiona Ligi, who is the youngest of the group. She has been in the loop of the France team for several years and she has put in the ingredients to be able to claim this place. She has a very good attitude and an interesting profile playing right and left. Lucile Pothier is making significant progress in her game, and she is very motivated, it is only natural that I give her a chance. Finally, Élodie Invernon put on a series of good performances with quality services ”.

“I want the news to be integrated smoothly, that there is a real collective. The idea is to raise the mayonnaise between the players to have the best possible team ” continues the coach.

Among the Gentlemen

Here are the players who have been selected by Alexis Salles for the World Championships of Padel In 2021:

  • Francois AUTHIER
  • John BERGERON
  • Bastien BLANQUE
  • Jérôme INZERILLO
  • Thomas LEGUE
  • Maxime Moreau
  • Jeremy SCATENA
  • Benjamin TISON

Here again, we find a good part of the players who were present in Marbella, with 4 players in the lead as Alexis Salles explains:

“Four players have necessarily cleared. The four finalists of the French championships: Bastien Blanqué, Thomas Leygue, Benjamin Tison and Johan Bergeron. These last two are above, they are having a great year. But Thomas Leygue also found a great level of play, just like Bastien Blanqué, they are very solid, and that's a good thing for the France team ”.

To accompany them, we find Jérémy Scatena and Jérôme Inzerillo, already present at the European Championships, but also Max Moreau who is back in Blue after showing great things on the field. Finally, the coach wanted to give François Authier a chance, a safe bet on the French circuit for a few years. So exit Adrien Maigret and Jean-Thomas Peyrou.

“I also chose Jérémy Scatena, who has a lot of experience and remains an essential element. He made the choice not to participate in the French championships this year, it is linked to his professional project. Also, Jérôme Inzerillo is very invested and has made some very good matches. I also took Maxime Moreau, who was very deserving, who has a great level of play, and has already had two selections.

For 8th place, a lot of players could apply, but I chose François Authier, who finished 3rd at the French championships. I want to give him a chance in the France team ”.

A team that will do everything to “Defend 4th place two years ago, behind the three untouchables, Spain, Argentina and Brazil. Two years ago, everything was aligned. The level is also strong behind but we will do everything to defend our status ”.
