Le FIP Tour continues this week on two fronts for the French team. Between the FIP Gold Abidjan and the FIP Silver Giulianova Several French athletes were on the track, with a strong performance on the men's side in Ivory Coast and more complicated days in Italy.
Guichard and Geens put in a great performance in Abidjan
The day's outstanding performance came from Dylan Guichard et Clement Geens . Second seed of the FIP Gold of Abidjan The Frenchman and the Belgian dominated Anton Sans / Gustavo Nunes , seeded 6, with a score of 7 / 5 6 / 2 .
A A big victory, and in style! facing two top players on the circuit. After a close first set, Guichard and Geens clearly took control in the second set to secure their place in the last square .
In the semi-finals, the challenge will be enormous as they will face the number 1 seed. Javi Garrido / Lucas Bergamini A very tough opponent, but also a great opportunity to test oneself against one of the strongest pairs in the tournament.
In the ladies, Steffi Merah and the Portuguese Constança Gorito had a very difficult start to the competition against the number 1 seed, Noa Cánovas / María Eulalia Rodríguez Abajo A logical defeat 6 / 3 6 / 1 facing a solid pair who reached the final last week at FIP Silver of Narbonne .
Huard / Perrot and Marquet / Pelt stopped at Giulianova
Au FIP Silver Giulianova The French men's team did not manage to get past the round of 16.
The young pair of My Center Palavas House , Sacha Huard De La Marre / Nathan Perrot , a lucky loser in the draw, had a big challenge against the Argentinians Luciano Capra / Facundo López , seeded 4th. Defeat 6 / 1 6 / 4 , but an interesting second set against a world-class pair.
On their side, Raphael Marquet and the Luxembourger Clement Pelt , who came through the qualifiers, could not find a solution against the Dutch Meijer / Nolten They bow down 6 / 1 6 / 1 , after a good week nonetheless to reach the main draw.
Godallier/Valenzuela out, Bahurel and Sirgant expected on Saturday
In the women's draw, bad news with the withdrawal of Léa Godallier et Daiara Valenzuela before their first match. The Franco-Argentine pair were scheduled to face the Italians Deborah Cruciani / Micaela Moroni but will ultimately not play in the match.
There will still be two French women to watch on Saturday in Giulianova.
Louise Bahurel , fresh from winning her first FIP tournament, will be associated with Ivet Val Lopez They will challenge the 7th seed. María Portillo Pérez / Carmen Castillon , with the goal of reaching the quarter-finals.
We will also follow Juliette Sirgant , associated with Fitia Robinson For their opening match in the tournament, they will have a tough game against the 5th seed. Clarissa Margherita Aima / Camila Fassio Goyeneche .
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 !
