Closing a remarkable 2025 Summer Tour
Barrère Academy has just wrapped up a memorable 2025 Summer Tour. Over two intense weeks, our players experienced training, matches, and team spirit in an atmosphere that was both competitive and supportive. The outcome? Visible progress, outstanding results, and unforgettable memories.
Two weeks of intensity and hard work
This summer event offered players the chance to face high-level challenges and push their limits. Every day was filled with intense training sessions, competitive matches, and strong solidarity between participants. The goal: to build resilience, develop skills, and grow in every aspect – technical, physical, and mental.
Beyond competition, the tour was also a time of sharing and mutual support, allowing everyone to progress while enjoying a true sense of team spirit.
Results that speak for themselves
The commitment and effort of our players quickly paid off: several of them achieved a new ranking during the tour, rewarding their hard work and perseverance. These successes reflect perfectly the philosophy of Barrère Academy: guiding every player to reach their full potential.
✨ Special congratulations to Abel Rogier, who impressively moved up two rankings in just two weeks! A remarkable performance that highlights his dedication and determination on court.
A big thank you to the players
Beyond the individual results, this tour will be remembered for the energy, positivity, and team spirit of all participants. Every player contributed to the collective success of the event, bringing motivation, passion, and determination.
We warmly thank each and every participant for their commitment, enthusiasm, and exemplary sportsmanship.
See you in 2026!
The 2025 Summer Tour may be over, but we’re already looking forward to the next edition. We’ll see you in July 2026 for another summer filled with challenges, competition, and unforgettable memories.

Successful Toulouse tour for Raphael Pichot!
Raphaël participated this month of March 2022 in two ITF U18 tournaments near Toulouse. Until now, he had played few international tennis tournaments in the same category but had nevertheless won an ITF doubles in Austria with his partner Caspar Mikkelsen. His stay in Toulouse will have allowed him to take a step forward!
The first tournament was organized in Colomiers. Raphaël reached the semi-finals of the tennis tournament by beating two Italian players and a Swiss player. The highlight of the tournament was the quarter-final match against an Italian. Raphaël was trailing 6/2 5/2 and managed to turn things around and win 6/2 in the third set! He lost in the semi-finals, not without demerit, against the winner of the tournament, the Italian Lorenzo Carboni (Italian U16 champion).
The second tournament was played in Blagnac. In the first round, Raphael had a tough draw falling to number 5 seed Romanian Pop. Raphaël released the best match of his fortnight against a talented opponent who served lightning. He won 6/4 in the third set having saved three match points! He then won in the second round 6/2 6/2 against a French player. His Toulouse adventure then ends in the 1/4 final against a young Frenchman, with Raphael a little blunted physically and mentally by the two weeks of tennis competition.
In the end, a tour that will have allowed Raphaël to obtain his first convincing results on the international tennis circuit and which allows him to start his season with full confidence!
