The Blues know their opponents in their pools of these Worlds in Dubai after the draw carried out at the start of the evening in the presence of all the captains.

Les Bleues: beware, dangerous group

Since this morning, we knew that in pool D, France had inherited the United Arab Emirates, host of these worlds, and that it would therefore find itself in a pool made up of 5 nations.

The seeded 4 of the event will find on its way Brazil, Paraguay, Sweden, and therefore the United Arab Emirates.

In this pool, France will of course aim for first place. If she achieves her goals, it will prevent her from falling on the Argentina box in the quarters. But beware of the Brazilian and Swedish traps, two strong nations in the padel female.

If the logic is respected, our French should find the Belgians to aim for a place in the semi-finals. France will undoubtedly be the favorite of this opposition for a ticket to the last four, which would give them the assurance of being in the top 4 again.

Les Bleues will play every day:

  • Monday
  • Tuesday with 2 oppositions
  • Wednesday

The gentlemen in a hen within their reach

The French team will be opposed to Paraguay, Mexico, Egypt and Qatar in this group D composed of 5 nations. As for our French women, the seeded 4 of these Worlds will therefore have four confrontations, one more than in the other groups.

On paper, the French have their destiny in their hands and will aim for a first place to play the second in Pool B. They would then avoid Argentina. On the other hand, it is difficult to make a certain prognosis in group B, which also includes Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands. Italy will not come with the heavy artillery of "Argentino-Italian" players, which puts it in a delicate position against nations like Belgium or the Netherlands, which have players from the FIP Tour in their ranks and of the APT Padel Tour.

Like the girls, the Blues will aim for first place in their group to avoid Argentina in the quarter-finals. The good news is that France avoids Portugal, placed in pool A. For the Portuguese, it will be the Brazil box a priori. An opposition that will have to be followed closely even if the team led by Pablo Lima will obviously be the favourite.

Like our French, the Blues will play:

  • 1 meeting Monday
  • 2 meetings on Tuesday
  • 1 meeting Wednesday
