On break this week, the World Padel Tour will make his return on Saturday with the qualifications of the Menorca Open.
A new Tison / Leygue pair
Qualifications in which we find a new pair, that made up of Thomas Leygue and Benjamin Tison. The only two tricolors to have participated in WPT events in recent weeks will be side-by-side in the Balearic Islands, and they will start at 10:30 a.m. this Saturday against Santiago Pineda and Jose M. García. Before finding the former partner of Francilien Mena and his new teammate Suescun in the next round?
The table of male previa:
Among the girls, three French girls, and Eli's farewell
As we have already talked about, Eli Amatriain will say goodbye to professional padel during this WPT Menorca Open. The former world number 1, who plays alongside the French Léa Godallier, will start in the first round against the local Sofia Saiz and her teammate Marina Lobo for a match that promises to be very hot. The winners of this clash scheduled for Wednesday morning, will challenge Salazar and Araujo in the next round.
Alix Collombon and Lorena Rufo face the Dutch tournament sensation, Borrero / Sharifova ! If successful, the Franco-Spanish pair could find the 7th seed Jensen / Virseda, for a real shock.
As in the Netherlands, Alix and Léa are not the only French representatives among the girls. Indeed, we find again Carla Touly and the Argentine Nela Brito in advance. This Monday at 10:30 a.m., the French and her partner, who lost as soon as they entered the competition in Amsterdam, will try to achieve a first success together against the Lopez / Arellano pair.

New pairs to follow for the men
As announced a few days ago, we will see several new duos in action among the men. We will notably follow the baptism of fire of the new Arroyo / Alonso pair against Lebron and Galan!
Many clashes promise to be interesting, like the one between Gonzalez / Garrido and the Cordoba native's former partner, Campagnolo, and his new teammate Esbri.
In the fight for the number 1 position between the pairs Coello / Tapia and Di Nenno / Stupa, the former will have to quickly regain confidence, since they start from the start facing a pair that is never easy to negotiate: Gil / Moyano. Stupa and Di Nenno face a pair that they know very well and who have already beaten them this season: Leal / Diestro!
