P2000 Cabriès: Deep field for season finale
The P2000 WinWin Padel Cabriès is shaping up as one of the last major highlights of the season on the French circuit. From July 10 to 12, the Provencal club will open its doors to an exceptionally deep field in both the men's and women's draws. Several pairs genuinely believe they can win the title, and Padel Magazine will be on site from the qualifying rounds to cover the tournament live.
Season finale with international ambitions
Cabriès has become a fixture on the French padel calendar in recent years. WinWin Padel is one of the established venues in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region and offers the infrastructure for a high-level P2000 event. The late-season timing makes the tournament especially attractive: many players use the final weeks to collect ranking points or claim a title before the summer break.
The organizers have assembled a field that already looks competitive on paper. In both the men's and women's draws, established top pairs face ambitious outsiders capable of shaking up the entire bracket. The qualifying phase should set the tone for an intense weekend.
Men: Bayard and Vincent lead the field
In the men's draw, the top seed is Damien Bayard and Pierre Vincent. The duo has a pair weight of 35 and is considered one of the most stable combinations at recent major events. They know each other well and arrive in Cabriès with the clear goal of winning their first P2000 title. Their consistency in recent weeks makes them outright favorites.
Right behind them are Maxime Forcin and Arthur Hugounenq as the second seeds. Forcin knows the Cabriès venue from experience: last season he won here alongside Benjamin Tison. This time he teams up with Hugounenq, the highest-ranked player in the men's tournament. The pairing combines local experience with the individual quality of the top-ranked man – a profile built for a title run.
Behind the two top seeds, the draw remains wide open. Quentin Ayuso and Charles Gortzounian are the third seeds, with Simon Wagner and Alexis Coulombeau fourth. Both duos have the quality to target at least the semi-finals and cause upsets at the decisive moment.
Outsiders with final ambitions
Seeds 5 through 8 should also shape the tournament. Norman Sanchez and Morgan Mannarino, Arthaud Dumoulin and Tom Couturier, Ludovic Cancel and Paul Forichon, and Raphaël Rubio and Rémy Gourre are all dangerous opponents. All four pairs are used to big matches on the French circuit and know how to pressure favorites.
Further solid combinations await in the main draw: Jules Marie and Paul Dornberger, Damien Lozano and Thomas Brechemier, Hugo Cazaban and Nicolas Trancart, and Lucas Potel and Louis Jover. Even the early rounds should produce hard-fought matches that could thin the field significantly before the semi-finals.
Men's seeds at a glance
| Seed | Pair | Pair weight |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Damien Bayard / Pierre Vincent | 35 |
| 2 | Maxime Forcin / Arthur Hugounenq | – |
| 3 | Quentin Ayuso / Charles Gortzounian | – |
| 4 | Simon Wagner / Alexis Coulombeau | – |
Women: Barla and Lambert Agosti as top favorites
In the women's draw, Kimy Barla and Lou Lambert Agosti lead the seedings. With a pair weight of 24, the two young players hold the strongest ranking in the entire bracket and rank among the main title favorites. Their recent form explains why many observers expect them to win.
Juliette Sirgant and Mélissa Martin start as the second seeds. The latter is the highest-ranked individual player in the women's field and adds extra weight to the pairing. Sirgant and Martin form a solid unit that can certainly push through to the final.
Jennifer Denecheau and Nada Majdoubi follow as third seeds, with Manon Marcarie and Cassandra Senjean fourth. Both duos know each other well, have P2000-level tournament experience, and will try to pressure the favorites early.
Balanced women's field without a clear hierarchy
Outside the top 4, Lucile Pothier and Fiona Ligi deserve special attention. As the fifth seeds, they arrive in Cabriès with the momentum of a title at the latest P2000 Top Padel and could quickly become one of the biggest threats in the draw.
Other pairs to watch include Laura Clergue and Marie Maligo, Nastasia Boitier Legourd and Lorie Pelan, Amanda Pestre Grange and Lucie Vichier, Joanna Bougon and Julie Pecastaing, and Marie Lefevre and Déborah Alquier. The women's field looks highly homogeneous overall – several pairs are separated by only a small ranking gap, keeping every match potentially open.
With registration closing on Friday at 11:59 p.m., the entry list is now set. From Thursday's qualifying rounds, Padel Magazine will cover the action on site and provide comprehensive tournament reporting. Cabriès is set for one of the most exciting weekends of the French padel season.
