How this page works

This English page is built from the official FFT rankings published in France. Bonjour Pickleball keeps each player only once and uses the FFT category where that player ranks best.

The FFT rankings used here include all age groups in the same published tables, including 50+ and 70+ players. There is no separate age-specific table in the data used here.

It is useful for readers searching for the best French pickleball players on the French domestic circuit. It is not the same thing as asking which French player has the highest international profile.

Methodology Open details

For each player, Bonjour Pickleball keeps the FFT category where that player ranks best. The comparison uses (N-rank+1)/N, so results can be compared across categories of different sizes.

This ranking mixes men and women in a single list on purpose: without this calculation, comparing rank 1 out of 581 men directly to rank 1 out of 100 women would not make sense. By turning each rank into a success percentage within its own table, both results end up at the same level.

This means a player can appear only once in the overall ranking, even if that player is also ranked in doubles or mixed doubles.

Exact ties: when two people end up with the same best result, we compare each person’s second-best FFT result, only when both have one in another counted category, then the third if needed, and so on. If the tie still isn’t broken after that, we then compare FFT points from the best result. If everything is still identical, both people genuinely share the same position: they are shown as tied (Ex æquo).

French players who mainly compete on international pro tours may not appear here, because this page reflects the FFT domestic circuit in France rather than the global PPA or APP scene.

Movement: the +/- signs compare the current rank to May 2026, = means the same rank, and N means the player did not appear in the previous publication. The FFT ranking is a 12-month rolling window, so a rank can shift even without a new tournament, if a result from last year drops out of that window.

Common questions Open details
Who is the best French pickleball player?

It depends on the circuit. Internationally, the best-known French player is Jay Devilliers, who reached world No. 1 on the APP Tour in 2021 and competes on the American PPA and APP professional tours. On the official FFT domestic circuit in France, the current number one in the Bonjour Pickleball Top 50 is Cyril PELTIER. The two answers differ because they measure different competitions: the global pro tour on one side, the official FFT rankings in France on the other.

How is the French pickleball ranking calculated?

The Fédération Française de Tennis (FFT) publishes six official rankings: singles, doubles and mixed doubles, for men and women. These rankings include all age groups, including 50+ and 70+. Bonjour Pickleball keeps each player only once and uses the FFT category where that player ranks best, with the formula (N-rank+1)/N so categories of different sizes can be compared fairly.

Where can I find the official FFT pickleball rankings?

The official source is the Fédération Française de Tennis. Bonjour Pickleball turns those official rankings into readable pages, ranked lists, a club ranking and player profiles, updated each month when the FFT publishes new data.

Does this ranking include 50+ and 70+ players?

Yes. The FFT rankings used here combine all age groups in the same published tables, including 50+ and 70+ players. The FFT does not publish separate age-specific tables in the data used by Bonjour Pickleball.
