The French Tennis Federation should announce this week or next week the list of players selected in the France team which will fly to the Qatar World Cup scheduled for November 15 to 20.

As often, Franck Binisti risks the games of predictions before the official announcement of the captains and the FFT which should take place in the week or next week.

We start with the ladies.

The French ladies team: very difficult!

1 and 2 - Alix Collombon and Léa Godallier: these are the two best French players. They are unquestionably a cut above the rest of the players. In the absence of Jessica Ginier, there are still 6 places. If we are to believe Robin Haziza's last speech, the Competition is tough and there will inevitably be disappointments.

3 - Elodie Invernon: given the enormous level she has been offering for over a month alongside Géraldine Sorel, it seems unlikely to us not to see Elodie in this next selection. She was already in the captain's sights before the Marbella Europe. But today, it seems to us to be an essential part of this French team.

4 and 5 - Amélie Detrivière / Mai Vo: they are inseparable. And in my opinion, if one is selected, the other must be. A complete pair that can hold up well against good teams. They regularly prove that they are among the best French.

6 - Charlotte Soubrié: offensive, fighter, we have seen that Charlotte was also able to raise her level of play when the opposition hardens. She is one of the players you can count on in the France team.

7 - Lucile Pothier: while her teammate Wendy Barsotti was taken to Marbella a few months ago, we can clearly see Robin doing a test with Lucile this time. Lucile shows that in addition to being an aggressive player, she is able to be regular. His defense has improved tremendously.

8 - Come on, let's conclude with a relatively recent player in the ecosystem of padel French and which surprises us with its level of play in recent months: Tiffany Phaysouphanh. Yes, she is a player still unknown to the French public despite her victory at WinWin's P1000 Padel Nîmes or its good level of play at P2000 des Pyramides. In position 8, we want to play the team's joker card. Maybe it's even too soon, but Tiffany is capable of typing and volleying very well, she is one of those rare players who takes time from her opponents.

My joker pair, yes I'm cheating. But I am not the coach! The pair that could largely be part of Team France is obviously Ligi / Martin. If they are part of the team, it will even be logical given the commitment and the heart they put in this sport. But they could perhaps pay for their certain inconstancy in the game on certain matches. We would like to see them together more often because they have the potential to beat the best.

We are well aware here that there is an imbalance between left players and right players. But Alix and Léa can occupy any position!

The players who are very close to Team France are ...

Tiffany Phaysouphanh's partner, Déborah Alquier is also one of the reasons for Tiffany's strong growth. Débo is a player you can count on. A true right specialist capable of keeping her diagonal against the best players.

Geraldine Sorel aka the boss. If Élodie Invernon is confident and plays as she currently does, she certainly owes it in part to her partner. Always flawless both outside and on the pitch, we know we can always count on her. However, the competition on the right is fierce and she is in a ditch with other girls.

Wendy Barsotti, present at the last European Championship of padel is capable of anything. She is undoubtedly one of the top French players. And its room for improvement is significant. But here too, Robin might want to try the adventure with new players in order to test them.

How not to mention Marianne Vandaele! Deserving player who has already shown that she can be counted on. But today she is on a waiver against other players who may be slightly more aggressive than her.

As often in the predictions, I am obliged to put Emmelien Lambregts in the possible selectable players. Discreet, and maybe even too much, the fact remains that she always remains constant in her matches. With Peggy Maignien during the France, they were not far from returning to a set against Vo / Detrivière.
