Le FFT Padel Tour Lyon starts this Friday at Mind Padel, with a particularly strong women's table. Among the players involved, we find a well-known figure in French tennis: Alizé Cornet, former champion and member of the French team.

Although not very active on the French padel circuit, the Niçoise has been practicing this sport for several years. She had already created a sensation during the National Padel Cup au Cap d'Agde International Tennis Center.

In this P2000, the pair Cornet / Remy will not be a gift for anyone. Depending on the draw, she could have an interesting run in this second P2000 of the year. However, their status as wild card does not guarantee them any protection.

A major challenge

Facing experienced duos like Bergaud / Denecheau, Ros / Alquier, Ginier / Pothier or even Maligo / Tonda, the step could be high for this new pair. But imagine a confrontation against Clergue / Madjoubi ?

Remember, almost 10 years ago…

When National Padel Cup 2015, the level of the mixed was unanimously judged as one of the highest. In the final, two well-known pairs faced each other: Laura Clergue / Jérôme Ferrandez salary. Alizé Cornet / Michael Kuzaj.

While everyone saw the French champion and her partner (French vice-champion) dominate the match.

Cornet and Kuzaj created the big surprise of this tournament. (2/6 7/6 10/4)

A new feat in sight?

Ten years later, Cornet returns to a major padel tournament in France. With Vinciane Remy At her side, she will try to shake up the hierarchy. One thing is certain: this pair could well create a surprise in Lyon!
