The latest performances on the  FIP Tour  gave a real boost to the  French players , while on the male side, the dynamic is more contrasted, even negative for some.

 Ladies in the spotlight: Pothier and Bahurel on fire 

The big progression of the week is signed  Lucile Pothier , which climbs from  34 seats  to rise to the  160th worldwide . An express rise due to his superb duo run with  Louise Bahurel  ( +8 places, 133rd ) on the  FIP Silver  Sandigliano.

Their tournament had started perfectly with a close victory against the French  Vandaele / Chamli  (7/6 6/4), before a  big match in the quarterfinals  against the 4th seed, the sisters  Canellas  (6/2 7/6). In the semi-final, the Blues delivered their best match, largely dominating  Martinez Sanjuan / Dominguez Gracia  (6/3 6/1), seeded 2.

The final, against the favorites  Dal Pozzo / Fassio Goyeneche , was more complicated. Beaten  6 / 0 6 / 3 , the French lacked solutions against a very solid pair. But this result allows them to make a  significant jump in the ranking .

 Ginier, Martin, Sireix: precious points in the pocket 

 Jessica Ginier  (+3, 137th) also progressed, thanks to a  quarter-final reached in Italy . On their side,  Melissa Martin  (+5, 153rd) and  Camille Sireix  (+1, 143rd) shone at  FIP Bronze Aveiro , where they reached the last four, synonymous with important points in the race for the Top 100.

 Men at a standstill: injury, early eliminations... 

Among the men, the trend is the opposite. No players have progressed, and several have fallen in the rankings.  Thomas Leygue , injured until the end of the season, falls to the  90th place  (-3). He nevertheless remains the highest ranked Frenchman.

 Bastien Blanqué  (-1, 105th) and  Johan Bergeron  (106th) were eliminated in  round of XNUMX  du  FIP Silver Sandigliano , without scoring enough points to stay up.

Same observation for  Timeo Fonteny  (-1, 198th) and  Maxime Joris  (155th), eliminated too early in their respective tournaments to hope to climb.

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 !
