It's official. The lists of players committed to the  FIP Silver Caen , scheduled from  19th to 24th,  are now closed.
A particularly strong field is expected in Normandy, with  nearly ten players from the world's top 100 in both men and women, and especially a  massive French presence .

A complete analysis of the two paintings.

 Rubio / Ruiz in the lead, Torre / Patiniotis in ambush 

For the men, they weren't necessarily expected a few days ago, but they will be there.
 Gonzalo Rubio (42nd in the world)  et  Javier Ruiz González (38th minute)  will form the  seed n ° 1  in Caen.

Two players experienced at the very highest level, regulars on the circuit Premier Padel, which we had notably seen reach the  Alpine Paris Major quarter-finals at Roland-Garros A solid, experienced pair, and clearly the team to beat.

En  seed n ° 2 , make way for an Italian-Argentine association that is as intriguing as it is experimental:
 Agustín Torre (52nd minute)  team up with  Aris Patiniotis (68th) The two men don't play together regularly, but the potential is very real. Torre was, in fact, coming off a...  quarter-final at the FIP Platinum tournament in Lyon .

La  seed n ° 3  will be occupied by Spain's rising youth:
 Marc Sintes (19 years old, 72nd)  et  Daniel Santigosa (21 years old, 76th) , an explosive duo, already very dangerous.

Finally, the  seed n ° 4  will be composed of  Alvaro Cepero (50th) Torre's usual partner, associated here with  Arnau Ayats (109th) .

 Maxime Forcin with a top 50: the spotlight on the chart 

That is sure  the key information from this list .
After a superb  semi-final in 2025 at the FIP Bronze in Mondeville ,  Maxime Forcin (435th)  returns to his Norman homeland… with a top-tier partner.

As last year, he will be playing alongside a Spaniard, but this time,  change of dimension  :  Francisco Gil (45th in the world) . Together they will form the  seed n ° 5 .

Gil is a well-known player on the circuit. Premier Padelcapable of very big moves. He had notably reached the  quarter-finals at Santiago P1 and Asunción P2  Last season. A golden opportunity for Forcin, who can legitimately aim for another big performance… or even more, at home.

 An impressive French density 

Behind them, the French delegation is large and ambitious.

  •  Dylan Guichard (130th)  will be associated with the Portuguese  Antonio Luque (168th) , a duo who know each other perfectly.
  • The new pair  Johan Bergeron / Timéo Fonteny  naturally attracts attention.
  •  Philémon Raichman / Yanis Muesser  continue their joint project launched in recent months.
  •  Yoan Boronad , a recent member of the French national team, will be associated with  Jeremy Robert A combative pair, capable of troubling the favorites.

We will also find  Thomas Seux  next to  Arthur Hugounenq , While  Nathan Courrin  will evolve with  Alexis Coulombeau , in search of his  Initial points on the FIP Tour .

Also worth noting is the presence of  Olivier Guy de Chamisso / Pierre Perez Le Tiec , a duo already seen in Bandol or Luxembourg, not forgetting the  former French number 1   Benjamin Tison  et  Adrien Maigret .

Finally, two faces well known to the public:  Jules Marie / Clément Filho who will set out to conquer their  FIP first points .

 Collombon and Godallier spearhead among the ladies 

The women's field is also highly competitive.
Arrivées  on the gong ,  Alix Collombon (34th)  et  Jana Montes (58th)  will be considered  #1 seeded A great opportunity for the French number one  kick off 2026 with a title .

Behind them, the competition is fierce.  seed n ° 2 The Spanish pair will be back.  Letizia Manquillo (48th minute)  /  Melania Merino (41st) .

La  seed n ° 3  will be composed of  Léa Godallier (61th) who will try to compete for the title alongside  Camila Fassio (68th) .

On the French side, several pairs will be worth watching:
 Pothier / Bahurel ,  Martin / Sireix ,  Dardaine / Marcarie  or,  Senjean / Ligi .

Finally, the young people  Lou Lambert Agosti  et  Kimy Barla , recently launched on the FIP circuit, will also be present in Caen.
