Le  FIP Silver Narbonne  will be an opportunity to discover a new and ambitious French association.  Philemon Raichman  et  Thomas Vanbauce  will be lined up together in Aude, where they will be among the headliners of the tournament with the status of  pair n°14 .

A recent partnership for two players who have both decided to turn the page after starting the season alongside other partners.

 Two separations, one new opportunity 

For  Thomas Vanbauce The season had begun with  Julien Seurin The two Frenchmen have had some interesting results, notably reaching the final at  FIP Bronze Hong Kong , their best performance together, as well as several quarter-finals on the FIP circuit.

The results were satisfactory but deemed insufficient to achieve the set objectives. The two players therefore chose to end their collaboration amicably, eager to explore new projects.

On the side of  Philemon Raichman The observation was quite similar. Associated with  Yannis Muesser  At the start of the season, he accumulated several respectable results without managing to take a significant step forward. Despite reaching a few quarter-finals on the FIP circuit, the two players ultimately decided to end their partnership.

 First automatic movements in Bandol 

The almost simultaneous separation of the two pairs naturally opened the door to a new partnership between Raichman and Vanbauce.

The two Frenchmen have already played their first tournament together during the  FIP Silver Bandol Seeded 10th in the competition, they had reached the round of 16 before being eliminated.

A result which nevertheless allowed them to collect valuable points and above all to start building automatic movements on the track.

 Narbonne to take a step forward 

In Narbonne, the two players will once again face the French public with the ambition of doing better than in their first joint outing.

The mission, however, looks complicated in a  FIP Silver particularly high , where they will appear as pair #14 in the table.

But this second encounter together could be a real eye-opener. With more experience and a better understanding of each other, Raichman and Vanbauce hope to have a successful run and perhaps even aim for a place in the quarter-finals, or even further if the draw and results are favorable.

Last year, Philemon Raichman had already competed in the  FIP Silver Narbonne  alongside Julien Seurin. The two men had passed the first round before being eliminated in the round of 16.

This time, with Thomas Vanbauce, the objective will clearly be to do better and to confirm that this new association can become one of the most interesting in French padel on the international circuit.

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 !
