Bordeaux P2 draws: the men’s main draw runs from June 30 to July 5, 2026 at the Patinoire Bordeaux Mériadeck, with Coello/Tapia as top seeds, Galán/Chingotto as second seeds and Guichard/Geens in the draw thanks to a wild card. The direct answer is clear: the favourites are present, the main-draw results still have to be earned, and the density of the bracket can quickly turn the French P2 into a serious test.
According to the official International Padel Federation event page, the tournament is played from June 28 to July 5, 2026, with a 28-pair men’s draw and a 24-pair women’s draw. The men’s first round is scheduled from June 30 to July 1, the round of 16 on July 2, quarter-finals on July 3, semi-finals on July 4 and finals on July 5.
What are the Bordeaux P2 dates?
The Bordeaux P2 opened with qualifying from June 28 to 30. The main draw then takes over until Sunday, July 5. That timing matters: the event comes straight after Valladolid, in a stretch where the leading pairs must back up their level without any real recovery window.
Coello and Tapia have a bye, but not an easy bracket
Top seeds Coello/Tapia receive a first-round bye. That is normal in a 28-pair P2 draw, but it does not make their week straightforward. The upper half also includes Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger, the third seeds, who are also exempt from the first round.
The sporting read is simple: Bordeaux comes after a demanding run, and the favourites will have to regain freshness quickly. Coello and Tapia arrive from a strong title in Valladolid, with the emotional weight of Arturo winning at home. In Bordeaux, the setting changes: less personal symbolism, more management in a compact calendar.
Who should be watched in Bordeaux?
Coello/Tapia remain the main reference point, Galán/Chingotto occupy the opposite end of the draw, while Lebrón/Augsburger are a powerful threat in the upper half. For francophone fans, another storyline is Dylan Guichard and Clément Geens, who enter the main draw with a wild card.
Their first round is listed in the Tuesday-Wednesday window, with a Wednesday appearance especially expected according to the brief, subject to the final order of play. Their presence is not minor: the Franco-Belgian pair arrives with confidence after a strong week in Abidjan, where they pushed Garrido/Bergamini in a tight match.
What results can be expected from the main draw?
At this stage, the question is not yet the final result, but the route. The opening rounds should show which pairs have enough freshness to handle the Valladolid-Bordeaux turnaround, and which teams can use a compact draw to challenge a seed as early as the round of 16.
The density of the bracket gives Bordeaux real sporting value. Several pairs will try to turn general fatigue into opportunity, and the French stop can quickly become more than a bridge between two major events.
