Tennis Europe and the International Tennis Federation (ITF) are currently organising their first padel competition in the history of the International Tennis Federation: The Padel Nations Cup.

A sort of padel Nations Cup which pits 7 nations against the Netherlands.

Each nation is composed of 3 ladies and 3 gentlemen.

In each confrontation, there is a ladies match, a mixed match and a men's match.

On the French side, they are Léa Godallier, Marianne Van daele and Mélissa Martin, in the ladies' category, and Benjamin Tison, Mathieu Lapouge and Julien Maigret who represent France.

The French beat the Belgian 3 / 0. But against Spain, it's more complicated, the ladies win their match in 3 sets and the men will lose their match in 2 sets (6 / 4 6 / 4) but with honors.

Objective for France, to win the mixed race and try to get first place in this first edition of the Padel Nations Cup.
