Top start of the French championships padel 2018 in Toulouse Padel Club during this opening ceremony with in particular Pierre Doumayrou the President of the Occitanie league who kicked off with the entire FFT team.

Michel CARNEJAC, the referee of the competition has made public the paintings ladies and gentlemen. Small focus.

A few words from the Referee

  • The FFT has made the main draw a priority for playing on non-silica sites.
  • In terms of regulation, we will not be able to get out of the field until the semi-finals.
  • For the semi-finals, the ladies will play on the 2 field and the men on the central.
  • The FFT also offers a physio throughout the competition.

The ladies board

No big surprise in the ladies' table. The pair Alix Collombon / Jessica Ginier is the big favorite of the competition. We do not see which pair could make their life difficult. Especially Laura Clergue, the former partner of Audrey Casanova, and vice-champion of France, will not be present.

Very good news for the ladies, we have certainly never seen such a large ladies' table, except perhaps during the National Padel Cup… 24 pairs present in a table of padel. It is a very good thing.

At the top of the 2 series, we have the pair Audrey Casanova / Mai Vo which is in the upper part of the table including the pair Sorel / Martin and Dechaume / Clément.

Downstairs we have, the Godallier / Vandaele and Pironneau / Ligi pairs to try to face the TS1 Ginier / Collombon. But beware of the Godallier / Vandaele pair that had titillated French numbers at the Lyon Open a few weeks ago.

The gentlemen's painting

The first all among the men are already looking very interesting, with in particular a Fouré / Dulion against Leruste / Armagnac, the winning pair will meet the French champions of padel 2017, Blanqué / Bergeron.

On this lower part of the table, we see especially a potential semi-final Haziza / Scatena vs Blanqué / Bergeron. But this will depend largely on the current form of Jeremy Scatena remained very discreet about the condition of his right knee with which he is in delicacy.

On the top of the table, there is of course the Parisian scarecrow Maigret / Tison who should hurt very much on his part of the table. No pair should worry them until the semifinal and a possible Ferrandez / Ritz vs. Tison / Maigret. The pair Ferrandez / Ritz realized last week at the club Mas, certainly one of his best games of the season.
