 A very dense male field 

Le  FIP Platinum Marseille  will offer a particularly evenly matched men's field, with very little breathing room from the early rounds.  seeded 1 ,  Fran Guerrero / Javi Leal  They start with a slight favorite status. Their long collaboration in 2025 gives them a real  stability A good mutual reading. They had exploded onto the scene together in 2025, and they are reunited exceptionally for this tournament.

Just behind, the  TS2 Lucas Bergamini / Javi Garrido  attracts attention. Their association marks a  new start  For 2026, they have high potential, but it still needs to be validated over time. Marseille will be a first concrete test, particularly regarding their ability to quickly develop automatic responses against well-established pairs.

En  TS3 ,  Tolito Aguirre / Álex Arroyo  They represent the most unpredictable option at the top of the standings. A completely new pairing for the 2026 season, Marseille will be their very first tournament together. Talent, creativity, risk-taking: this pair can turn any match around; it remains to be seen if they can quickly find their synergy.

La  TS4 Javi Garcia / Javi Barahona  represents the exact opposite: a pair  challenge well established, rarely in difficulty, capable of wearing down its opponents through regularity and tactical discipline.

With  Sanyo Gutierrez / Gonzalo Alfonso  en  TS5 The experience will be there. Already partners in 2025, they arrive in Marseille with clear benchmarks. The presence of  Sanyo  His participation in several competitions at the start of this season confirms his desire to quickly get into the rhythm.

The winners of  FIP Platinum Lyon ,  Alex Ruiz / Juanlu Esbrí , occupy the  TS6 A solid pair in big matches, capable of gaining momentum as the tournament progresses.

En  TS7 ,  Jairo Bautista / Lucas Campagnolo  form a new duo for 2026, blending  power  et  experiment Their complementary nature could quickly bear fruit.

Finally, the  TS8 Valentino Libaak / Alex Chozas  embodies ambitious youth. A duo capable of playing without inhibition, with the desire to establish themselves permanently on the circuit.

 The French men: high depth and real opportunities to be seized 

On the French side, the presence is massive:  More than 15 French players involved  between main draw, qualifications and waiting list.

The main French pairs to watch:

  •  Thomas Leygue / Nuno Deus  : the big return of  Leygue  on the international circuit, with a strong symbolic element since the Frenchman had been injured against Deus in 2025
  •  Dylan Guichard / Clement Geens  : an experienced, well-established pair
  •  Johan Bergeron / Timéo Fonteny 
  •  Julien Seurin / Thomas Vanbauce 
  •  Manuel Vives / Maxime Joris 
  •  Bastien Blanqué / Marcos Córdoba 

In qualifying and on the waiting list, we also find  Raichman ,  Muesser ,  Boronad ,  Hugounenq ,  Seux ,  Courrin ,  pillion ,  Vives ,  Joris  and several young people showing great promise.
With such a dense table,  one or two major French courses  would not be a surprise.

 An equally prestigious female portrait 

The level is just as high in the women's competition.  TS1 Alejandra Salazar / Alejandra Alonso  will logically be closely watched. This new partnership is among the major projects of the season, and Marseille will allow for an immediate assessment of their potential against stiff competition.

En  TS2 ,  Aranzazu Osoro / Victoria Iglesias  bring some experiment  and real sturdiness. The  TS3 Lucía Sainz / Raquel Eugenio  and  TS4 Jimena Velasco / Marta Barrera  are part of similar dynamics, with profiles capable of going far without making a fuss.

La  TS5 Sharifova / Borrero  It also attracts attention. A new pairing, but with real complementarity on paper, since they have already shared the track previously.  TS6 ,  Lucía Martínez / Águeda Pérez  represent a safe bet, while  Laura Luján / Ana Catarina Nogueira  en  TS7  offer an interesting mix of intensity and experience.

La  TS8 Alix Collombon / Jana Montes  will be particularly followed by the French public. Playing at home, the Frenchwoman will have a real chance to succeed.

Outside the top 8, we will have  Carla Touly / Camila Fassio The French and Spanish players will try to find their way through this dense landscape.

 The French women are well armed 

On the French side, the presence is also very significant, with  about ten players involved  in qualifying.

To follow closely:

  •  Lucile Pothier / Louise Bahurel 
  •  Camille Sireix / Melissa Martin 
  •  Steffi Merrah ,  Charlotte Soubrié ,  Fiona Ligi ,  Kimy Barla ,  Lou Lambert Agosti ,  Marie-Amélie Dardaine, Marie Rondot, Cassandra Senjean ,  Manon Marcarie, Clara Mansart .

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
