Almost exactly one year after the victory of  Nathan Courrin  and  Christophe Squarta , the  P1000 of the Roquettan Tennis Club  makes its return  14,15 and 16 August 2026 .

En  2025 , the pair  Courrin / Squarta , seeded 5 at the time, had created a “minor” sensation by winning the final against the pair  Marie / Inzerillo . There is no doubt that  Nathan Courrin , aligned this year with  Evan Armand will be keen to repeat this performance.

5 pairs for the title

The table of  the 2026 edition  promises, driven by different  pairs  accustomed to  P1000 .

Top seed: Rémy Gourre / Théo Suzanna

Logically installed in  top of the table ,  Gourre and Suzanna  represents one of the most  confirmed and dangerous  of this tournament. The two men know each other very well, and have already won  several P1000s  together in the past.

Second seed: Alexandre Toppin / Raphaël Rubio

A fit pair that's riding their wave  wave of confidence  since their victory together at  Toulon P1000  last June. Beware of this association which combines  Toppin's aggressiveness , And the  Rubio's regularity  could pose many problems this weekend.

Third seed: Thomas Brechemier / Robin Petitdidier

A team  homogeneous , regularly proving to be a thorn in the side of many top seeds. What better example than their victory in  P1000 Paul & Louis Sport semi-final  last February, against the number 1 seed  Gourre / Suzanna.  

4th seed: Nathan Courrin / Evan Armand

A pair that, despite its  youth Nathan Courrin (2004) and Evan Armand (2003), remains endowed with a  solid experience at the P1000 level Proof of this is,  Nathan Courrin  will take on the role of  title holder  during this  2026 edition , following his victory last year with  Christophe Squarta .

5th seed: Benjamin Tullou / Romain Vial

Perhaps this is  the underdog team  to be wary of the tournament. Indeed, they demonstrated this recently during their  victory at the P1000 in Sète A journey they can draw inspiration from this weekend.

Pairs to watch

Behind the top five seeds, the draw remains very competitive with several pairs capable of causing an upset.

  •  Messina / Etienne  (TS 6)
  •  Tardy / Chouchaoui  (TS 7)
  •  Soleirol / Perrot  (TS 8)
  •  Audo / Durban  (TS 9)
  •  Pasquier / Schbeir  (TS 10)

Also worth noting is the presence, thanks to a  wild card  de  Derek Gerson , an experienced player on the international circuit, who will team up with  Ugo Lecorche .
