Two Frenchmen begin their journey this Thursday at the FIP Silver Dublin . Thomas Leygue et Louis Jover They will both have a good chance in a draw that could allow them to secure several victories before facing the top seeds.
A first round within reach for Thomas Leygue
Associated to Arnau Ayats Thomas Leygue, the 6th seed, will face the qualifiers in the first round Mathias Gonzalez Lambert et Andres Martinez Cuquerella On paper, the Franco-Spanish pair will be the favorites against a team that came through the qualifiers.
If successful, the path could remain relatively clear. Leygue and Ayats would then face either another pair who came through qualifying, Javier Antonio Cincotta / Ivan Ignacio Herrera that is, the British Chris Salisbury (1092th in the world) and Alfonso Patacho (836th in the world). Here again, they would be the favorites.
Their path therefore seems quite open until the quarter-finals, where a major challenge could await them against the third seed. Gustavo Nunes et Tonet Sans .
Louis Jover wants to confirm
For its part, Louis Jover , associated with the Belgian Hamza Berrahou will begin against the British Theodore Garton et Cameron Dollimore , two players ranked around the world's top 300. A first round that looks balanced but very winnable for the Franco-Belgian pair.
If they qualify, the level will rise a notch with a likely round of 16 match against the number 2 seed. Antonio Fernández et Pedro Melendez Amaya , one of the favorite pairs of the tournament.
The two Frenchmen will therefore have a great opportunity to start their week in Ireland with a victory and continue their momentum on the FIP Tour , before any potential big matches against the seeded teams.
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 !
