While attention will primarily be focused this week on the  Mediterranean games  and the  FIP Gold of Belgrade Other French players will be competing on the FIP circuit.  From Madrid to Westerbork, all the way to Texas Several French players will also try to  to stand out and rack up valuable points . Review of the French chances involved in these three tournaments.

Madrid: Leygue headlines the match, four French players involved

Le  FIP Bronze Bamvolea Ciudad Raqueta  will have four French representatives this week, split between the men's and women's draws. On paper, France's best chance will be  Thomas Leygue , associated to  Jesus Moya . French,  148th in the world and the Spaniard,  128e will form the  seeded 8  of the tournament. An ambitious pairing for Leygue, who continues his climb up the rankings since his return from injury and will try to confirm his good momentum on the international circuit.

More than a year later, Thomas Leygue is back in the top 150: behind the scenes of a comeback that's still unfinished

 Enzo Couacaud  will also be present in Madrid alongside the Spaniard  Manuel Valcarcel Sanchez The two men will, however, have to go through the  qualifications where they are currently ranked sixth. The former professional tennis player will thus attempt to secure his place in the main draw and continue his development on the FIP circuit.
