Kimy Barla is now inside the French top 10 in padel and sits at world No.184 in the FIP ranking. At 19, the French player has reached the best international ranking of her career, with 158 points in the ranking updated on 22 June 2026.
For anyone looking for Kimy Barla’s padel ranking, the answer is clear: she has moved up nationally while settling inside the world top 200. The step confirms the progress of a player who is still young but already clearly identified as part of France’s next generation.
A career-best world ranking confirmed by the FIP
Kimy Barla’s official International Padel Federation profile shows a five-place rise to No.184 in the world. The same profile lists that position as her career-best ranking. At this level, every move requires consistency: points come from repeated draws, travel and results that often happen away from the brightest spotlight of the tour.
Her recent results show that steady build. Barla has collected points in Narbonne, Bandol, Marnes, Bari, Rivesaltes and at the FIP Junior World Cup by Pairs 2025 in Reus. None of those results tells the whole story alone, but together they help her climb the hierarchy.
A player profile still being built
Kimy Barla is still young, but she has not appeared from nowhere. Developed through the junior categories and already seen as one of the names to follow in French women’s padel, she has built her progress on two fronts: the national circuit, where players learn how to win under pressure, and the FIP circuit, where the depth of the draws is higher.
The FIP currently lists her with Manon Marcarie as partner. Her coach is listed as Baptiste Benetoux. These details point to a more structured working environment, the kind needed to turn potential into regular results.
A sign for French women’s padel
Entering the French top 10 also carries symbolic weight. It places Barla in a more visible group, behind the established references, and underlines that France’s women’s next wave is moving forward step by step. The challenge now is to extend this rise with more frequent wins in FIP draws and performances capable of stabilising her world ranking.
At 19, Barla still has plenty of margin. Her ranking on 22 June 2026 guarantees nothing for the future, but it sets a clear marker: she is no longer only a French padel prospect; she is starting to matter in the international hierarchy.
