This weekend, players of padel of Team France from padel have learned their invitation to the tennis training camp Padel Soleil (Beausoleil) on May 10 and 11. If there are essentials in the ladies and gentlemen's team, the last places coveted to join the French team of padel are going to be very expensive. 

The summoned are:

In the ladies:

  • Collombon / Ginier
  • Clergue / Casanova
  • Godallier / Van Daele
  • Ligi / Vo
  • Sorel / Martin
  • Kik / Alquier

In gentlemen:

  • Blanqué / Bergeron
  • Scatena / Haziza
  • Tison / Maigret
  • Ferrandez / Ritz
  • Moreau / Fouquet
  • Boulade / The Panse

Note, however, that "the players who will be selected in the final list of Team France may not be part of the selection of the course”Raises the captain of the France team from padel, Patrick Fouquet.

We are watching other players closely. For those invited to the internship padel, we had to make a choice. But we are not closed with Alexis Salles.

Our opinion

Being a captain is never easy. Making a choice when levels are so close is not obvious ...

Indeed, other players can in our opinion be part of the list of Team France for the world championships of padel.

To begin with the gentlemen by Julien Maigret. According to us, the former winner of the Petits As, and currently 12e French player, seems to us to be the best positioned to join the France team. He is probably one of the best right-wing players in France, also able to move to the left. We will make a portrait soon on him.

Justin Lopes and François Authier have shown this weekend that we can count on them too. This pair delighted us all weekend. Competitors and a mentality that we always need in a team. We also think of Laurent Bensadoun, Simon Boissé, Justin Garnier, Cédric Cartité, Florian Landsheere, Yohan Romanowski, and others not so far away ...

And, the one we had already told you about in a previous post: Thomas Leygue. 16 years old, he caused a sensation this weekend at the P1000 Winwin Padel Nimes. We will also come back to him in a future article.

In women, we think inevitably Kristina Clément who seems well armed to bring his experience and his game to Team France. Line Meites, also, a fighter, "always ready to go to the coal. Other players are also hatching ....

Of course, it is better to be invited to this camp in May, but nothing has yet been definitively validated to be part of the France Team of padel 2018. The next results in the tournaments of padel will therefore be very important.
