Who are the 20 best French players of padel in 2019? A very rich 2019 season with a growth in the number of players from padel, always more clubs and tournaments padel and obviously the appearance of FFT PADEL TOUR, this famous elite circuit of padel.

Ginier / Collombon: The invincibles

We will quickly move on to Jessica Ginier and Alix Collombon who are the indisputable first French players. Invincible, unbeatable, Jess and Alix seem to have a good safety mattress in the face of French competition, which is organizing despite everything.

Behind, it is the pair Laura Clergue / Léa Godallier who are joining forces for 2020. 2 players of the World Padel Tour growing internationally. An association that we want to see next year to why not tease the French numbers.

Note that Mélissa Martin finishes in a very beautiful French 3rd place.

Mai Vo has a protected place (5th). It should resume 100% alongside Amélie Feaugas next year. We cross our fingers so that this pair can make us a 2020 season without bobo.

Young Fiona Ligi comes in 6th. She is certainly the player who suffered the most during the second part of the season with a forfeit during the French championships of padel (because of the injury to the feet of his former partner, Laura Clergue), a non-convocation in the France team for the Europe 2019 in Rome, and which finds itself for the moment without an official partner for 2020. A Martin / Ligi association ?

Aurore de Kermadec stands out in the French top 20 all categories for her tenacity in the tournaments of padel. 29 tournaments padel in 52 weeks in 2019. It's more of a tournament padel every 2 weeks. Well done to her! She finished 16th.

Finally, our Belgian Marie Maligo gets a nice 12th place even if we think that she can still scratch a few places with Charlotte Villeminot, the Norman, one of the players who has made the most progress this year and whom we could see. at the forefront next year.

Bergeron / Blanqué: At the top of the poster!

What a journey of the Bergeron / Blanqué pair! To succeed in finishing first in 2019, we had to tap and fight in the face of big competition with obviously the two pairs Tison / Maigret and Scatena / Haziza. This is the strength of the French men's team which today has 3 pairs above the lot and at very close levels.

But behind it grows! To the point where even the 3 pairs must be very careful not to pass away. We remember this incredible match made by the famous Lyon pair Authier / Lopes against Bergeron / Blanqué at the Master of the FFT PADEL TOUR in Marseille. A victory for the outsiders which will certainly allow Justin Lopes to join the France team after Jérémy Ritz's package.

Obviously, we also think of Max Moreau, player of the World Padel Tour who ended his season very well with a final at the FIP RISE in Dubai alongside left-hander Benjamin Tison despite a 15th place in the French standings. It will be necessary to be more constant in the results and the overall level of play if Max wishes to find his way back to the France team. But we know he has everything in him to get there.

If the season of Simon Boissé was both very interesting but also sometimes irregular with Loïc Le Panse (10th), he finished in 6th place in France, perhaps the most beautiful place when we see the players ahead. Most often in the last square, there is not much missing to pass this course and finally succeed in beating the best French pairs.

We finish on Thomas Leygue, the young player who will be officially “a senior” in 2020 and who finishes in 11th place in France. With his partner Nicolas Trancart (8th), they had a great season. We will now have to confirm next year.
