Le  FIP Silver Narbonne  This will be an opportunity to reconnect with a partnership that made a strong impression at the start of the season on the French circuit. The Bordeaux team  Lucas Pillon  et  Maxime Joris  will compete together in Aude, where they will be among the teams to watch in a particularly challenging draw.

Ranked pair number 16, the two players will try to take advantage of this new opportunity to confirm the great promise seen during their first collaboration.

 A first successful partnership in Bordeaux 

This is  P2000 4Padel Bordeaux   that the two players had shared the track for the first time.

At home, they had impressed by reaching the quarter-finals and, above all, by pushing the French number 1 teams to the limit.  Thomas Leygue  et  Bastien Blanqué  in a three-set battle. Despite the defeat, the level displayed that day impressed observers, particularly a very impressive performance from Lucas Pillon against the French elite.

This performance confirmed the full potential of the young Bordeaux player and convinced the two players to continue the adventure together on an occasional basis.

 Pillon continues his progress 

At only 18 years,  Lucas Pillon  continues to progress at high speed.

Having already had a very successful season on the French circuit with a title in  P1000  and a final of  P1500 , the player from the Big Academy Padel is also becoming increasingly involved in the international circuit.

Since the beginning of the year, he has been gaining experience with different partners in order to accumulate playing time and experience against the best European players.

His efforts are starting to pay off. He has already reached the round of 16 in several tournaments.  FIP Bronze  et  FIP Silver , while also reaching two quarter-finals on the international circuit, at  FIP Bronze Rivesaltes  then the  FIP Bronze Marnes .

More recently, he had participated in the  FIP Silver Bandol  next to  Benjamin Tison , a valuable experience that allowed him to learn from the former French number 1.

 Joris in search of continuity 

For its part,  Maxime Joris  continues his comeback on the circuit after his return to competition in 2026.

The Bordeaux native has already played with several partners this season, notably  Manuel Vives ,  Jeremy Robert  or Lucas Pillon.

The results are encouraging with several quarter-finals in FIP Silver, including recently at  Bandol  with Jérémy Robert.

His greatest achievement, however, remains his title won at the  FIP Bronze Singapore  alongside Manuel Vives last April.

This success allowed him to regain confidence and confirm that he could once again aim for the later stages of international tournaments.

 A pair capable of playing spoiler 

In Narbonne, the two men from Bordeaux know each other perfectly. They were trained in the same environment at  Big padel They already have automatic reflexes and have demonstrated in Bordeaux that they are capable of raising their level against top-level players.

Their status as the 16th seeded pair will offer them no advantages in a draw featuring several players from the world's top 100. Their primary objective will be to reach the round of 16.

But if the draw is favorable to them and they rediscover the level they displayed at the Bordeaux P2000,  Pillon and Joris clearly have what it takes to reach the quarter-finals, or even beyond. .

In a tournament as competitive as the FIP Silver Narbonne, they could well be among the teams capable of shaking up the hierarchy.

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 !
