The draw for the hens delivered its verdict for the European Championships of padel 2017 which will take place at the Estoril Tennis Club in 3 days. The ladies fall into a complicated hen. The gentlemen, favorites of their hen.

For the ladies, France falls into a big pool since it falls into pool B made up of Spain, the first nation in the world for women, Belgium, a beautiful nation of padel in Europe and Poland, the small thumb of the competition. If it is necessary to put a cross on the first place, France seems better placed to obtain its ticket to enter the main draw. But beware of Belgium, a nation that has always made life difficult for the French.

The problem of this hen in the ladies is that the second pool could then fall on Portugal ...

In gentlemen, France seems to have been preserved. She falls in Pool A, the only pool of 3 teams with the Netherlands that France already knows and has already beaten 2 years ago in Europe 2015 and Germany, a tone below. A priori, on paper, France should be first pool and avoid suddenly in the main table all the heavyweights: Spain and Portugal.

Remember that the first two of each pool qualify for the main draw.

The opening ceremony of the European Championships padel 2017 will take place on Monday 13 November and the start of matches on Tuesday 14 November.
