The new FIP ranking has been published and it brings a lot of good news for French padel. In the men's competition, green is clearly dominant with several notable improvements, starting with that of Dylan Guichard , who crosses a symbolic threshold by joining for the first time in his career the Top 100 worldwide .

Dylan Guichard rewarded for his excellent start to the season

This is the great satisfaction of this ranking. Thanks to his final at FIP Bronze Rijswijk Dylan Guichard gains two places and achieves the best ranking of his career with a 99th place in the world .

A logical reward for the French number 1, who has been very consistent since the start of the season and who has been stringing together performances on the international circuit.

Bergeron, Fonteny, Seurin and Joris continue their progress

Behind Guichard, several French riders continue to climb.

Johan Bergeron takes advantage of his quarter-final at FIP Silver Höganäs with Timéo Fonteny to gain eight places and reach the 156th place in the world .

His partner for the week, Timeo Fonteny He too continues his progress with a place gained and a 169th worldwide .

A very good operation as well for Julien Seurin , semi-finalist at FIP Bronze Rijswijk , which gains four places and now sits at 176th world rank .

Same dynamic for Maxime Joris , quarter-finalist in Sweden with Jérémy Robert. He gains three places and finds himself 216th in the world .

Manuel Vives and Jérémy Robert are on the rise

The quarter-final achieved at FIP Silver Höganäs also bears fruit for Manuel Vives , who has made one of the best climbs in the French Top 10, gaining seven places. He now occupies the 220th place in the world .

But the biggest gain of the week goes to Jeremy Robert In great form these past few weeks, he gained fourteen places thanks to his excellent performance in Sweden and reached the 223th world rank .

Leygue falls back despite encouraging signs

The bad operation concerns Thomas Leygue The Frenchman loses twelve places and finds himself 187th in the world .

A drop primarily due to the loss of points earned last season. However, the standings don't necessarily reflect its current momentum. Finalist of the FIP Bronze Castellón Having come close to qualifying for the main draw of the Italy Major, the French number 2 is showing encouraging signs, even if returning to his best level still requires time.

Bastien Blanqué also loses a place and finds himself 164th in the world , While Yoan Boronad gains four positions to reach the 193th place .

Among the women, there were few changes

The women's rankings change less.

Alix Collombon remains by far the number 1 French despite a slight drop of one place. She now occupies the 36th world rank .

Léa Godallier keeps his 56th place in the world , as Carla Toully , always 81th in the world .

Among the notable improvements, Louise Bahurel gains three places and reaches the 118th worldwide , notably thanks to his qualification in the main draw of the FIP Platinum Tirana .

Camille Sireix also gains a place and continues its progression within the Top 150.

Conversely, Melissa Martin , Steffi Merah , Marie-Amelie Dardaine et Laura Buteau lose some positions while Kimy Barla remains firmly installed in the Top 200 worldwide in 194th place.

A positive dynamic for French padel

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 !
