Men

A tournament marked by hybrid pairs

The table is dominated by several French pairs formed by experienced players associated with lower-ranked partners. Among them:

  • Maxime Moreau / Bilal Duprat (TS2) : A pair that can be solid with a Duprat at 300%, but which will remain unbalanced and dependent on Max Moreau.
  • Cyril Gaillard / Maxime Joris (Pair 9) : The pair remains very dependent on French team member Maxime Joris, who is much more accustomed to this type of tournament.

French forces present in the main table

  • TS2 : Maxime Moreau (136) / Bilal Duprat (981)
  • TS3: Maxime Forcin (426) / Adrian Mercadal (141)
  • TS8: Adrien Maigret (238) / Jérôme Inzerillo (187)
  • Pair 9: Cyril Gaillard (688) / Maxime Jorris (172)
  • Pair 10: Thomas Vanbauce (190) / Simon Wagner (340)
  • Pair 13: Arthur Hugounenq (271) / Thomas Seux (426)
  • Pair 15: Kamel Mouimen (1282) / Joel Fernandez Muñoz (259)
  • Pair 18: Dorian De Meyer (322) / Nathan Courrin (549)
  • WC: Mathieu Paumard (1799) / Marc Durieux (1799)

Opportunities and analysis of the table

The tournament could offer opportunities for french pairs, given the absence of players ranked in the world's top 100. Here is an analysis of the upper and lower parts of the table:

Upper part of the table

  • The seed 1, Pepe Aliaga / Marcos Cordoba, remains the pair to beat. She will probably have to face Maigret / Inzerillo in the quarter-finals. On paper, This French pair is one of the most homogeneous.
  • The match of the eighth finals logically between Forcin / Mercadal (TS3) et Hugounenq / Seux will be interesting to follow, especially since the French pair made a strong impression during the P1000 from Clermont Padel Club. Obviously advantage to the TS3.

Lower part of the table

  • Vanbauce and Wagner will have to play well to hope to go far in this tournament. Indeed, they could play from the 8th, the dangerous pair Jesus / Richters (ts7), then a possible quarter against Pau Miñano Ortinez / Jaume Romera Barcelo (TS4). In case of victory, the French pair could potentially play either the ts2 Moreau / Duprat, or the ts5, the Dutch pair, Meijer / Roper.

Analysis:

The best French chance:

The pair Louise Bahurel / Charlotte Soubrie represents the best French opportunity for this tournament.

  • Homogeneity and experience: With respective rankings of 184th and 159th, they have great consistency and are evolving internationally, particularly Louise.
  • A favorable draw: The draw looks clear through to the semi-finals, giving this pair a great chance to perform.

Seeds 1 and 2, with four players ranked in the world top 100, are the big favourites for the tournament: Lucia Garcia (85th) et Camilla Fassio (95th) for seed 1, as well as Natividad Lopez Diaz (91st) et Aida Martinez (93rd) for seed 2.

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 !
