We knew it, the announcement of the wild cards for Greenweez Premier Padel Paris Major was going to make people disappointed…
And it's not just Max Moreau who can wonder this Thursday morning why he is not one of the lucky ones.
Indeed, Dorian De Meyer and Thomas Vanbauce, who were hoping to get a wild card for the qualifications, are certainly also having a bit of trouble taking the news in. As he told us, Dorian had marked this French Major among the most important dates of his season:
“Having a wild card for Roland-Garros was one of our three biggest goals for the next two years, along with getting into the FIP Top 200 and being eligible for selection in the French team. It’s a real, real blow…”
And we can easily understand the disappointment of the Bordelais, especially since the two young men who have 107 points in the FIP ranking, see the Cancel / Raichman pair benefit from the precious sesame, while they are behind by 37 points. in the international ranking.
If we do not know the FFT selection criteria and we understand that the choice of wild cards is not made solely on the ranking (otherwise there would be no suspense and the best ranked would be chosen each time), we obviously understand that this absence could be experienced as a hard blow for the Bordeaux team. A difficult moment that will allow them to come back stronger? That's all we wish them!
