1.The podium remains stable
The first information is the stability of the summit. Robineau retains first place with 35 points. Dylan Dubois remains second with 29 points, ahead of Dylan Rocher, third with 27 points. Pierre Maurel follows with 26 points and Yves Rakotoarisoa is in fifth place with 25 points. This tight ranking confirms that the season remains open, even if Robineau currently has the most comfortable margin.

2.Aubenas rewards Schroll, Seine and Baille
The Aubenas Supranational brought together 246 triplets. The winners David Schroll, Ismael Seine and Gauthier Baille scored seven points each. For them, this victory constitutes a strong entry into the 2026 ranking. Finalists Wesley Zigler, Pascal-Kevin Zigler and Peter Schroll add six points to their total. Peter Schroll thus joins the TOP50, while Pascal-Kevin Zigler and Wesley Zigler are placed at the gates of this zone.
Aubenas does not change the podium, but the event had a significant impact on the depth of the ranking: the points distributed put several players back in the discussion for the coming weeks.
3.Henri Lacroix returns to the TOP20
The most symbolic movement concerns Henri Lacroix. Associated with Jessy Lacroix and Raymond Surle, he reached the semi-finals in Aubenas and added five points. Boulistenaute marks him as the only new entrant in the TOP20, now 17th with 18 points. For the winner of the final TOP1000 2025 ranking, this return is a reminder that the season is not just about the podium at the moment. Summer regularity can still reshape the positions before the end of the calendar.
4.Movements in the TOP50
Several names also benefit from the update. Elie Winterstein joins 37th place after his quarter-final. Laurent Matraglia appears in 38th place. Gino Deslys and Frederic Jimmy Rakotoariniaina progress thanks to their round of 16, while Peter Schroll enters the TOP50 after his final in Aubenas. These movements remind us that the difference between a framed elimination, an eighth or a semi-final can weigh heavily in a still dense ranking.
| Player | Movement quotes | Sports reading |
|---|---|---|
| Henri Lacroix | 17th, 18 points | Return to the TOP20 after Aubenas |
| Peter Schroll | 42nd, 12 points | Final in Aubenas and TOP50 entry |
| Elie Winterstein | 37th, 13 points | Quarter-final values |
| Laurent Matraglia | 38th, 12 points | Strengthened presence at the top of the table |
5.How to read this ranking
An increase in the number of places can be spectacular, but it must be interpreted with caution. After thirteen Nationals counted out of thirty-eight, many players remain close in points. A first great performance can propel a player very high, while an absence from a TOP1000 event can cause an apparent decline without real poor form. The good indicator will be repetition: scoring several times, in several events, and remaining established in the decisive areas of the ranking.
