Le FIP ranking was updated this week and, on the French side, we are seeing a mix of interesting progress and logical falls related to the schedule and the points to defend.
Guichard remains solid number 1, Bergeron and Blanqué fall back
At the top of the French hierarchy, Dylan Guichard remains stable at the 104th place in the world confirming its consistency despite increasingly fierce competition.
Behind them, however, things are moving fast:
Johan Bergeron and Bastien Blanqué each retreated 14 seats A significant drop that is easily explained:
they had won the FIP Bronze Hong Kong last year (40 points), points which they were unable to defend this season.
The same logic applies to other players:
- Thomas Leygue loses a place
- Timeo Fonteny drops 4 places
- Yoan Boronad loses 1 place
- Arthur Hugounenq drop of 6 places, due to a lack of recent results on the FIP Tour
Seurin and Rouanet are showing strong growth
Conversely, some French people are taking full advantage of their recent results.
This is the case for:
- Julien Seurin (+10 places), rewarded by its final at FIP Bronze Hong Kong
- Nicolas Rouanet (+11 places), thanks to its quarter-final in Nairobi
- Philemon Raichman (+7 places), also progressing
These performances confirm an interesting trend among several French players.

Among women: few changes but trends
On the women's side, the ranking is a little more stable, although there is more red than green.
- Alix Collombon remains solid 34th in the world
- Léa Godallier wins a place
- Carla Toully steps back slightly
- Louise Bahurel maintains
Further down:
- Camille Sireix et Melissa Martin lose 2 places
- Lucile Pothier drops 5 places
- Charlotte Soubrié loses 2 places
The good surprises
Some players are standing out from the crowd:
- Steffi Merah gains 3 places, notably thanks to its 1/4 at the FIP Bronze Hong Kong
- Manon Marcarie signs the best progression with +4 places , carried by his semi-final at the FIP Bronze Hong Kong

A pivotal week ahead
This ranking perfectly reflects the reality of the circuit:
Between points to defend and new performances, everything can change very quickly.
The next steps promise to be significant, with:
- le Miami P1 where several French people will be involved
- and new tournaments FIP Tour with valuable points to be won
An opportunity for some to confirm their rise… and for others to bounce back quickly.
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 !
