The FIP Rise D-Bay proved to be an excellent tournament for the French, with Élodie Invernon, Julien Seurin, and Manu Vives qualifying for the final.

Julien Seurin and Manu Vives reach another final on the FIP Tour after their victory in Japan last week. In Egypt, during the FIP Rise D-Bay, the French pair played two very good matches. First against the Italian pair Matteo Platania / Matteo Sargolini with a victory in three sets. In the semi-final, they faced the Franco-Egyptian pair, Philméon Raichman / Georges Wakim, seeded number 4 in the tournament. Seurin and Vives remained focused on getting their ticket to the final with another victory in three sets: 4/6, 6/1, 6/2. In the final, the number 1 seed will be favorite against the Argentinian-Egyptian pair, Youssef Hossam / Julian Lacamoire. The latter did not come far from elimination in the semi-final with a victory in three sets against the Egyptian pair Mohamed Aboulkassem / Aly Zaghloul. After victories in Australia and Japan, a new victory on the FIP Tour in Egypt?

On the women's side, the Franco-Dutch pair, Rosalie Van der Hoek / Élodie Invernon, reached the final after a fierce match against the Italian-Portuguese pair, Clarinha Santos / Francesca Ligotti, and a victory in three sets: 6/7 , 6/4, 6/1. In the final, Invernon / Van der Hoek will face the tournament's number 1 seed, Magarida Fernandes / Marianela Montesi.
