Maxime Forcin and Dylan Guichard reach the final of the French Championships 2024. The No. 4 seed is absolutely not a surprise at this stage of the competition. Indeed, this pair is composed of Dylan Guichard, a member of the French team, and Maxime Forcin, who aspires to join it.

Forcin / Guichard does better than Blanqué / Leygue

Their chemistry is obvious: Maxime Forcin, the quiet force, soothes and reassures Dylan Guichard, allowing him to play his best padel. Since the start of the tournament, the No. 4 seed has dominated the upper part of the table, never conceding more than five games per match. This is a testament to the impressive level of play of this team. Even the big favourites, Blanqué and Leygue, did not do any better. (against Vincent / Hugounenq in the semi-final, victory 6/1 7/5)

Leygue vs Guichard: No. 1 vs. No. 2

The duel between the French number 1 and number 2 in the diagonal looks explosive!

As Maxime Forcin explained in his post-match interview, playing with such an offensive left-hander allows you to take fewer risks and focus more on your own side of the field. And it shows: the Northerner is having an exceptional competition. In the semi-final, he was even voted MVP of the match by Mario Cordero. In the semi-final, he managed to destabilize Maxime Moreau's defense. For his part, Dylan Guichard often found the small grid with diagonal shots. He has undeniably reached a milestone, both in France and internationally.

Advantage Blanqué / Leygue, but…

On paper, the final seems to be leaning in favor of Blanqué/Leygue, but nothing is decided. An opportunity could well present itself to these outsiders. Meet around noon for this men's final, which will close these 2024 French Championships.
