The best French players evolve on the professional FIP / WPT circuit which is today the benchmark at world level; FIP tournaments (International Federation of Padel) and WPT (World Padel Tour) are counted in one and the same classification.

To date, the results of international tournaments are not recorded by computer in the calculation of the French classification, and are therefore exclusively counted for the international classification. Also, in order to enhance the Word Padel Tour, the FFT classification is established as follows:

=> Gentlemen:

French players classified in the TOP 200 FIP / WPT at the time of publication of the monthly FFT ranking, are ordered from 1 to N; the numbering of other players starting at rank N + 1.

=> Ladies:

The best French players ranked among the TOP 100 FIP / WPT at the time of publication of the monthly FFT ranking are ordered from 1 to N; the numbering of the other players starting at rank N + 1.
