Almost exactly one year after the victory of Nathan Courrin and Christophe Squarta , the P1000 of the Roquettan Tennis Club makes its return 14,15 and 16 August 2026 .
En 2025 , the pair Courrin / Squarta , seeded 5 at the time, had created a “minor” sensation by winning the final against the pair Marie / Inzerillo . There is no doubt that Nathan Courrin , aligned this year with Evan Armand will be keen to repeat this performance.
5 pairs for the title
The table of the 2026 edition promises, driven by different pairs accustomed to P1000 .
Top seed: Rémy Gourre / Théo Suzanna
Logically installed in top of the table , Gourre and Suzanna represents one of the most confirmed and dangerous of this tournament. The two men know each other very well, and have already won several P1000s together in the past.
Second seed: Alexandre Toppin / Raphaël Rubio
A fit pair that's riding their wave wave of confidence since their victory together at Toulon P1000 last June. Beware of this association which combines Toppin's aggressiveness , And the Rubio's regularity could pose many problems this weekend.
Third seed: Thomas Brechemier / Robin Petitdidier
A team homogeneous , regularly proving to be a thorn in the side of many top seeds. What better example than their victory in P1000 Paul & Louis Sport semi-final last February, against the number 1 seed Gourre / Suzanna.
4th seed: Nathan Courrin / Evan Armand
A pair that, despite its youth Nathan Courrin (2004) and Evan Armand (2003), remains endowed with a solid experience at the P1000 level Proof of this is, Nathan Courrin will take on the role of title holder during this 2026 edition , following his victory last year with Christophe Squarta .
5th seed: Benjamin Tullou / Romain Vial
Perhaps this is the underdog team to be wary of the tournament. Indeed, they demonstrated this recently during their victory at the P1000 in Sète A journey they can draw inspiration from this weekend.
Pairs to watch

- Messina / Etienne (TS 6)
- Tardy / Chouchaoui (TS 7)
- Soleirol / Perrot (TS 8)
- Audo / Durban (TS 9)
- Pasquier / Schbeir (TS 10)
