Thomas Leygue officially forfeited

This injury upset the situation: Bastien Blanquéits historic partner in the French team, is found Only only two months old competition. For the moment, he did not communicate on his intentions concerning a possible replacement.
A Wild Card, the only option for Blanqué
The only possibility for Bastien Blanqué to integrate the 2025 France championships is to formulate a request for Wild Card. The FFT attributes each year deux Wild Cards To anticipate possible packages or injuries.
However, even if the rule is not absolutely formulated, it appears unlikely that the French Championship Committee will grant a Wild Card to a player who has already taken part in the regional championships.
Blanqué / Molinero, the logical option?
The Marseillais Nicolas Molinero is he too partnerfollowing the package ofAlexandre Toppin. Like the Blanqué / Leygue pair, they were among the automatically qualified.

However, this hypothesis remains uncertain: Molinero having disputed the regional championships, it appears difficult to imagine that the committee grants him a Wild Card, in view of the line usually followed in this type of situation.
Blanqué / Bergeron? Unlikely
The track Blanqué / Bergeron had been mentioned for a while. But Johan Bergeron East already registered with Thomas Vanbaucedespite the latter’s recent injury.
