Seeded No. 8 in the U18 draw of the FIP Promises Paris, Victor Caby and Louis Cacheux embody the future of French padel. Aged only 16, the two players are progressing at breakneck speed, having already reached a semi-final on the FIP Promises circuit and with ambitious plans in Spain. 

Two different paths, one same ambition

Originally from Hauts-de-France,  Louis Cacheux  He discovered the racket very early. After starting tennis at only 4 years old, he turned to padel at the age of 11.

The young player from  TSB Valenciennes  quickly made a bold choice to accelerate his progress: to go train at  Bilbao , under the direction of the former  World Top 25 Andoni Bardasco , while continuing his schooling at the French high school in the city.

Surrounded by his family and coach, Louis is already starting to experience the French circuit with a few appearances in  P1000 , while continuing his training on the international junior circuit.

A pair that has already proven its worth

Victor Caby and Louis Cacheux know each other well. The two Frenchmen notably achieved a very impressive performance by reaching the  FIP Barcelona Promises semi-finals  Last December, a particularly high-level tournament.

A challenging chart… and a double challenge

À  Lésigny The two Frenchmen will not start with the label of favorites in  U18 The category promises to be particularly competitive, led by the two Spanish pairs.  Bolumar / Ranera , number 1 seeds, and  Ferrer / Garcia , seeded No. 2.

But behind these favorites, several French pairs hope to be spoilers. Besides Victor Caby and Louis Cacheux,  Jeremy Robert / Olivier Guy de Chamisso  or,  Quentin Bernard / Johann Peloux  will also have strong arguments to make.

The two young French players will also be involved in the  table U16 With fewer points than they had in U18, they will approach this category as  19nd pair  of the tournament. A ranking that, however, does not reflect their true potential.

Here too, the competition will be fierce. The table will be dominated by  Mario Brocal  et  Jaime Rodriguez Two of the most promising players in Spanish padel will be among the favorites. On paper, they seem difficult to beat, but Victor Caby and Louis Cacheux have already shown they can raise their game in big matches.

Drawing on their experience gained on the FIP Promises circuit, particularly their semi-final appearance in Barcelona, ​​the two Frenchmen have a strong chance in both categories. This FIP Promises Paris will be another opportunity to assess their progress before continuing their development, with the future, for both Victor and Louis, largely unfolding in Spain.
