We are already close to the fourth tournament of the 2021 season on the WPT. We will be at Santander for an Open tournament. What will our French do during this tournament? We won't be able to see the future, but we know their draw.

In boys

The first French to enter the track are Bastien Blanqué (116th) and his partner Thomas Leygue (311th). Their first round of the preprevias will be played this Sunday at 1:10 am against Daniel Bressel (30rd)  / David Garcia Campos (128th). A match certainly affordable for them which could lead to a meeting against a player well known in France and his partner: Aitor Garcia (113th) / Pedro Vera Castillo (98th)

Then it will be the turn of the Lyonnais Johan Bergeron (115th) associated with Simon Vasquez (137th). Their match will also take place on Sunday, but at 12:30 pm, against Raul Medina (194th) / Pablo Cardona (288th). A first round within the reach of the Franco-Swedish pair, which could find Marc Quilez (91st) and Cristian German Gutierrez (87th) in the final of the previas for a revenge from Vigo!

Finally, Sunday at 16 p.m., on behalf of the 2nd round of the preprevias, we will meet again Benjamin Tison (93rd) and his partner Teodoro Zapata (77th), seed number 1 of the preprevias. They will face a qualified pair of the preprevias. They have part of the table within their reach, so we should logically find them in previas!

At the girls

Melissa Martin (113th) will be the first French to play in Santander with her partner Rebeca Lopez (103rd). In the first round of the pre-previas, Monday at 1 p.m., they will face Margarida Fernandes (14th) and Patricia Ribeiro (95th), a Portuguese pair who seems within the reach of the Franco-Spanish duo!

In the following table, in previas, we will find Léa Godallier (42nd), still associated with Aridna Canellas (55th). They will hit the track for the 1st round of the previas on Tuesday at 18 p.m. They will know their opponents on Tuesday morning but the least we can say is that they do not have an easy part of the table. A first round against Schuck / Wyckaert, Fassio / Herrada or Gala Leon / Seijas, then potentially a second round against a pair that does not succeed: Clasca (67th) / Vivancos (63rd)… In case of victories, the French pair -Spanish will find the Alayeto twins from 1 / 16th. In short, a difficult picture from start to finish ...

Finally, in the main board, we have our French number 1: Alix Collombon (28th). Always associated with Jessica Castello (29th), where they will have a very tough match against Aranzazu Osoro (14th) / Victoria Iglesias (17th), one of the fittest pairs of the start of the season. They will play their Round of 1 on Wednesday at 16 p.m.
