FIP Promises Paris 2026: Youth padel in Lésigny
The FIP Promises Paris by WME Sports returns to the Tennis & Padel Club de Lésigny from 15 to 19 July 2026. Organisers have set a clear target: the second edition should surpass the success story of 2025. The bar is high, because the premiere already impressed with 340 players, 13 nations represented and organisation that quickly established the event as a reference on the international youth circuit.
In 2026, the event grows noticeably. Positioned in the heart of summer, it attracts even more international delegations, and the level promises to be significantly tougher. The French side wants to confirm the positive results of last year's edition – even though the field is more crowded than ever before. Entries are already open, and organisers expect more than 350 youth players.
The 2025 edition as the benchmark
At the first staging, the tournament made a convincing entry into the calendar. Several young French players showed their best side. In the U18 category, Olivier Guy de Chamisso and Lucas Pillon won the title. In the U16 draw, Johan Peloux Marchini and Quentin Bernard reached the final, while Sacha Devriendt and Elliot Mura played in the U14 final.
Among the girls, Feryel Bekhedda and Loann Jovasevic reached the U18 semi-finals, and Noor Bekhedda made it to the U12 semi-finals. These results confirmed the rising strength of French youth on the international stage and also set the benchmark against which the upcoming edition will be measured.
French pairs among the boys in focus
For the 2026 edition, several tricolore pairs have real chances of titles and deep runs. In U12, Marin Le Saux and Titouan Aschard move into the centre of attention. The two recently won at the FIP Promises Koksijde and dominated their age category there. With confidence and the desire to confirm in front of a home crowd, they travel to Lésigny. Paul Rolandi Porcel and his brother Thiago will also be in the spotlight with different partners, as will the pairing Leandro Meireles and Karl Spohn.
In U14, Juan Segura and Lucas Terminet are regarded as especially promising contenders. They too arrive with a Koksijde title and already have solid experience on the Promises circuit. They count among the most stable French pairs in their category. Tyrone Pottier and Switzerland's Benjamin Filieri are also seen as favourites as they aim for a third title together after several strong recent outings.
The U16 draw promises particular toughness. Théo Hemery and Elliot Mura, Nathan Perrot and Sacha Huard de La Marre, Sacha Devriendt and Simeo Debroy, and Gabriel Bessière and Noé Meurant are among the pairs that will shape the field. Every round could decide progress or elimination here, with international opponents offering similar tournament experience behind the French names.
In U18, eyes turn to Jérémy Robert and Olivier Guy de Chamisso, who on paper look like logical French finalists and have already gained experience at major youth events. Loris Morvan, recent winner in Koksijde alongside Belgian Eliott Verraghen, starts with the same partner. Quentin Bernard and Johan Peloux Marchini also bring strong credentials and know the pressure of a home event from personal experience.
Strong French presence among the girls
French youth is also well represented on the girls' side. In U12, Loïs Meyer and Emma Delachaux as well as Elina Garcia and Romane Garcia are in the field. Both pairs are considered technically solid and experienced enough to build early pressure on the favourites.
In U14, Zia Debroy and Augustine Charpentier, Élise Le Roux and Lylwenn Laforge, and Chloé Le Jeune alongside Dutch player Evi Panhuizen are worth watching. The mix of national depth and international partnerships underlines how open the draw is and how closely linked the youth circuit is across nations.
In U18, Zia Debroy and Augustine Charpentier return, joined by Chloé Robert and Lisa Lançon as well as Rose Estrade, who teams up with Spain's Inés Lozano Cabrera. The international level here promises tight matches and little room for lapses. Pairs with foreign partners add further playing culture and tactical variety to the draw.
Lésigny as the stage for international youth
The Tennis & Padel Club de Lésigny will once again host an international youth festival where talents from numerous nations compete for titles across several age categories. Scheduled in the heart of the summer season, the event moves closer to the centre of the FIP Promises calendar and attracts delegations that were absent in the inaugural year.
Between 15 and 19 July 2026, established favourites, rising pairs and international guests meet in Lésigny. For French youth padel, the tournament is a stage on which last season's progress must be proven – in an environment that is tougher and more international than at the first edition.
