Main league in France both in terms of level and density, the Ile de France league organized its qualifications for the French championships in two phases. The first, as in 2018, brought together more than 68 men's teams in the eight committee championships between April and June. The first three teams of each committee qualified for the league phase which was organized at the Casa center Padel from Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis). A real dress rehearsal since it is this club that will organize the next French championships from September 27 to 29.
The 24 committee teams competed in eight pools of three and the first joined the final draw with the 16 top teams in the league. Unsurprisingly, the four favorite pairs - Tison / Maigret, Mannarino / Lapouge, Huet / Auradou, Le Panse / Boissé - were at the semi-finals. Benjamin Tison and Adrien Maigret, reigning French champions, made their rank respected after an intense and spectacular final against Le Panse / Boissé duo (4-6, 6-4, 6-4). Unless surprise, via their national ranking, Huet / Auradou (third) and Le Panse / Boissé (second) will be drafted and therefore qualified for the championships of France.
In the women's draw, after three last-minute packages, 12 teams were present to get the ticket for "France". Number 1 head of the tournament, Aurore De Kermadec and Virginie Ayassamy, who after a great fright in three sets in the semi-final against Renvoisé / Martin, were crowned in the final at the expense of Aurélie Somarriba and Charlyne Tondat (6-2 , 6-1). They will represent the Ile de France at the French championships.
