No less than 12 French women and 14 French people registered for the Greenweez Paris Premier Padel Major 2023, which begins on September 04 at Roland-Garros.

The second edition of the Paris Major is something of an event awaited by everyone. padel French. The tricolor players therefore absolutely want to participate. Unfortunately, there will certainly not be room for everyone, with several pairs ending up on the waiting list. We explain to you.

Only one tricolor assured of the final draw for men

Who says Major says that 48 pairs go directly into the main draw (including 4 wild-cards) for men, and 40 for women (including 2 wild-cards).

In the previas, there are 32 pairs on the men's side (including 2 wild-cards) and 16 pairs on the women's side (including one wild-card).

Among the men, we will therefore have at least one tricolor in the final table, Benjamin Tison who forms the pair 30 with the Spaniard Victor Mena. Whatever happens, the pairs Scatena/Gomes (BRE), Moreau/Salandro (ITA) and Leygue/Insa (ESP) are guaranteed to be at least in previas (they are obviously hoping for a wild-card for the final table).

The Jérôme Inzerillo/Adrien Maigret and Bastien Blanqué/Dylan Guichard duos, which form pairs 73 and 74, should also be at least in previa (for these two duos not to be able to participate in the tournament, the 4 wild-cards tableau are assigned to pairs located behind them and that they have no wild-card previa, which obviously seems unlikely).

Behind, the Vives/Seurin (83), De Meyer/Vanbauce (88) and Cancel/Raichman (90) duos are hoping for a wild-card, or mass packages!

Among the girls, people on the waiting list

For girls, the two new pairs Colombon/Rufo et Amatrian/Godallier are guaranteed to make it into the final table.

The other tricolor pairs registered, as you will see below, are all on the waiting list.

Allocation of wild-cards: the same as in Italy?

During the Major in Rome, all wild-cards were offered to pairs with at least one Italian or Italian. If the logic is respected at Roland-Garros, then we could for example have six Frenchmen in the main draw among the men (if the wild-cards are given to the best-ranked duos involving French players, namely Scatena/Gomes, Moreau/Salandro, Leygue/Insa and Inzerillo/Maigret). With a bit of luck, all the registered French people could enter the tournament for men.

In the girls we could also have six tricolors in the final table, if the two wild-cards are attributed to French women. We should also have a French pair in previas, which means that at least three tricolor pairs will remain on the diamond. It remains to be seen which ones…

Stay tuned, we should know soon which pairs are the lucky ones!
