WPT 2021 - State of play of the French before the resumption

For the moment, we do not yet know exactly when the World Padel Tour, but the French delegation is already preparing for the recovery. State of play.

The point in girls

Godallier and Collombon want more

During his interview, Alix Collombon told us that she decided to change partners in order to take a step forward. Alongside the 32nd world player Jessica Castello, the current number 36 hopes to be able to surprise this year. Castello, an aggressive and comfortable left-wing player at the top, has a style of play that seems to complement Alix's well, and they are sure to make a formidable pair. From there to settling in the Top 20? Why not: remember that the first name Jessica has been quite successful at the Lyonnaise in recent years ...

Nominated in the 2020 Revelations Padel spain, Léa Godallier succeeded in a year and a half on the World Padel Tour to climb to 53rd place in the world. A meteoric rise that the player from French Polynesia could not be satisfied with. The one who will now evolve with Ariadna Cañellas and who has made 9 main paintings out of 10 possible last season alongside Laura Clergue, now wants to settle in the Top 30!

Behind, no more uncertainties

54th player in the ranking of World Padel Tour, Laura Clergue recently announced that she is ending her Spanish experience to return to France. We should therefore not see the third French player internationally on the WPT in 2021 ...

Already in training in Madrid, Mélissa Martin will be present on the World Padel Tour this year. In order to take a step forward, the 110th player in the ranking has decided to engage the services of Neki Berwig. However, we do not yet know with whom she will share the track in 2021 ...

Present in Marbella for the start of the 2020 season, Fiona Ligi was then only seen once on the WPT. Absent just like her partner Diana da Silva, who is now 159th in the ranking of World Padel Tour could make a comeback in 2021.

The point for men

Top 100 desires

Several French players are at the gates of the Top 100 of the World Padel Tour. We do not know for the moment what Jérémy Scatena has planned, former number 99 and current 103rd in the standings. The French, who currently training in Turks and Caikos, give himself a little time to think before making a decision about your future. WPT? APT Padel Tower ? We should know more soon.

In any case, his former teammate Benjamin Tison will be present on the World Padel Tour in 2021. , alongside a certain Teodoro Zapata, a promising young left-wing player, with whom the 105th player in the world should form a very interesting association. Ben does not hide his ambitions and he hopes to be able to make at least one entry in an Open or Masters main draw in 2021!

Bastien Blanqué would also like to be part of the 100 best players in the world. Currently 120th, the Toulousain who has had a good year 2020 will obviously be competitive next season, but we still do not know with whom.

His former partner in France, Johan Bergeron, 123rd in the standings, will also be present on the WPT in 2021. We still do not know with whom, the José Carlos Gaspar track still not confirmed.

Thomas Leygue and a few intermittents?

Behind this quartet at the gates of the Top 100, several French people should play intermittent in 2021. Players who do not miss an opportunity to come and test themselves in Spain, but who live in France and therefore cannot afford to play all the tournaments. We think of Adrien Maigret, Loïc Le Panse, Yann Auradou… Back in France after a year in Spain, Nicolas Trancart will certainly also be part of this category.

His former teammate Thomas Leygue will continue his career in Madrid, where he will now train alongside Bastien Blanqué, in Ramiro Choya's training squad. The young Frenchman, 308th in the standings, has not yet announced the name of his future partner.
