From 5th November, direction the Lithuania for FIP RISE in the ladies and a FIP STAR among the gentlemen at Kaunas, with several French players in the running.

At the girls, Marianne Vandaele et Louise Bahurel unfortunately failed to make it into the top 8 of the tournament and are therefore in 9th position, which means that they will not benefit from protection in the draw. However, the tournament remains quite open, as it has very few players from the world top 100. Laura Buteau will play alongside the Englishwoman Abigail Tordoff, forming pair number 11. We will also have another French pair, Steffi Merah et Marie-Amelie Dardaine, who will occupy 15th place in the table.

As for gentlemen, at the FIP STAR, the good news is the presence of the 100% French pair Jerome Inzerillo et Arthur Hugounenq as the number 8 seed. This means that the former member of the French team will play on the left, alongside Arthur, a left-hander. For Arthur, this is a great opportunity to be among the seeds in a STAR tournament, capitalizing on his partner's points. We will also have another 100% French pairing with Thomas Vanbauce et Simon Wagner, left-handed, who is becoming more and more present on the FIP Tour. However, this pair will not be protected, despite Thomas' ranking, and finds itself 10th in the table. Next, we find the Franco-Belgian pair Isaac huysveld / Yoan Boronad in 21st position. Finally, in the qualifications, we will find the French pair Tom Basso / Nathan Courrin.

Also noteworthy is the presence of the Polish pair, composed of the former tennis champion Jerzy Janowicz, currently 520th in the world padel ranking, who will team up with his compatriot Mateusz Lipinski.
