If the almost all French people are engaged this week in the two big events of the circuit, the FIP Platinum Lyon and FIP Silver Reunion, some tricolors still chose to look for points elsewhere on the FIP Tour. This is the case of Nicolas Rouanet et Laura Buteau, present respectively in Bulgaria and Portugal.
Rouanet and Huysveld seeded 8 in Sofia
The side of FIP Bronze Sofia, in Bulgaria, Nicolas Rouanet (242) is associated with the Belgian Isaac Huysveld (225)The two men, seeded 8, will try to confirm their good momentum. Two weeks ago, they won their first FIP Bronze together in Fovea, a success achieved when they were seeded 1. This time, the challenge will be tougher in a table survey, reinforced by the circuit break Premier Padel.
Laura Buteau confident in Porto
For its part, Laura Buteau (191) will dispute the FIP Silver Porto in Portugal, alongside the Italian Michela Zaccagnini (215). Seed 10, the two players arrive with confidence. Laura remains on a semi-final at FIP Bronze Almeirim, marked by a first victory against a seeded player in FIP Bronze, namely Elsa Terranova / Maria Arteaga.
I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
