Du 16th to 18th, visit us at the 4Padel from Bordeaux , the first P2000 The 2026 season opens with a pair that is already generating a lot of buzz: Léa Godallier et Carla Toully .
The numbers 2 and 3 French , members of the French team, regulars on the international circuit and firmly established in the world top 100 They join forces. This association immediately establishes itself as a benchmark and forces the entire scene to position itself accordingly.
As French women's padel undergoes a transformation, this union is a significant event. Especially if it were to last, which is more than likely.
A first P2000 as overwhelming favorites
Let's be clear: with this pair, the suspense surrounding the women's title seems limited.
Godallier and Touly arrive in Bordeaux with the label of seeded 1 Undeniable. Their level of play, their international experience and their ability to manage key moments clearly place them a cut above.
Behind them, some pairs will try to pull off an upset. Alexise Duchêne / Charlyne Tonda (TS2) or Lou Agosti / Kimy Barla (TS3) possess real qualities, but even in view of their current dynamics, it is difficult to see them threatening a tandem as complete and experienced as Godallier / Touly.
This status of “overwhelming favorites” is also the result of a particular context. Alix Collombon chose to prioritize international markets, while Jessica Ginier might be less present in 2026 for personal reasons. In this changing landscape, the association Godallier / Touly It appears almost too powerful. Enough to make some of the competition grind their teeth…
Consequently, the focus shifts: Who will manage to reach the final? Managing the board will be crucial, with a goal shared by many: avoid the number 1 seed for as long as possible Otherwise, returning home would be premature.
Note: the main draw begins Saturday , to be followed live on the YouTube channel Padel MagTV .
A partnership in the works for the French championships?
This is where the story gets even more interesting. These two players know each other perfectly. And for good reason: they have been together for a long time. direct adversaries during major national events.
The poster is still fresh in people's memories: Collombon / Godallier (TS1) face Ginier / Touly (TS2) at the last French championships. A tense and high-level final, won by the top women. 6 / 3 7 / 5 by Collombon and Godallier. One fifth consecutive title together and eighth title for Collombon in ten FFT editions.
This is why, with Collombon's announced withdrawal from the upcoming French championships and the uncertainties surrounding Ginier's presence, the situation is changing and a question arises:
What if Léa Godallier and Carla Touly were to extend their stay after Bordeaux?
On the court, their profiles seem complementary. A strong mentality, a high work rate, top-level experience… they have it all. This Bordeaux P2000 could well serve as… full-scale test both in terms of sensations and results.
Nothing is certain, neither their victory nor the long-term viability of their association. But in padel, some associations are already generating excitement before they're even officially established. This one is clearly among them.
