After the qualifiers, it's time for the  Madrid P1 main draw Three French players will be worth watching today with  Dylan Guichard, Léa Godallier and Alix Collombon The three French players are in quite different situations: Collombon has a relatively easy first round, while Guichard and Godallier will have real opportunities to try against higher-ranked opponents.

Guichard / Geens with a chance to make a move

Having exited the qualifiers with authority,  Dylan Guichard and Clément Geens  will attempt to continue their journey in the Spanish capital.

For their first round of the main draw, the Frenchman and the Belgian will face  Víctor Ruiz / Mario Ortega , respectively  43th and 79th in the world .

On paper, Guichard/Geens are not the favorites. But among the possibilities offered by the draw for a qualifying pair, this matchup remains  one of the most affordable . Both men arrive with rhythm and confidence after having perfectly negotiated their qualifications.

So there is clearly an opportunity to go and find a  Round of 16 in Madrid In the event of a victory, they would regain  Maxi Arce / Juan Tello .

The match is scheduled for  Fifth rotation starting at 9am on court 3 .

Big challenge for Godallier / Valenzuela

The task looks more complicated for  Léa Godallier and Daiara Valenzuela .

The French and Argentinian players also negotiated their qualifications perfectly, with two victories in two sets:  6 / 2 6 / 3  facing Rebecca López / Catherine Rose then  6 / 3 6 / 2  against Mónica Gómez / Julia Polo.

But the level will clearly rise for their entry into the main draw. Godallier/Valenzuela will face  Bea Caldera / Carmen Goenaga , a well-established pair that already has many automatic responses.

Un  large entry draw  for the Franco-Argentine pair, who will have to raise their level even further to hope to create an upset.

The meeting is scheduled for  Fifth rotation starting at 9am on the center court .

Collombon/Sharifova are favorites for their opening match

Finally  Alix Collombon and Ksenia Sharifova  On paper, they will have the most affordable first round of the three.

The French number 1 and her partner will face a pair who came through the qualifiers.  Barbara Las Heras / Carla Mesa .

Collombon/Sharifova will start with more guarantees and a good opportunity to secure their place in the round of 16. A victory, however, would allow them to face a much tougher obstacle in the next round.  Bea González / Paula Josemaría (TS2) .

Their entry into the competition is scheduled for  Seventh rotation starting at 9am on court 3 .

A  big day for French padel  So in Madrid, then, with three representatives in the field. Collombon will have the opportunity to live up to his ranking, while  Guichard and Godallier will try to pull off a big win  to extend their adventure in the Spanish capital.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
