Jairo Bautista and Fran Guerrero are having a remarkable season on the professional circuit. Their latest feat: eliminating the pairs ranked 16, 6, and 3, without dropping a single set, to reach the semifinals of a major competition for the first time.
The duo won two titles this season: the FIP Gold Lyon in France and the FIP Platinum Marbella in Spain, confirming their place among the rising pairs on the circuit.
Their progression in the ranking is just as impressive. Bautista climbs from 37th to 28th place , while Guerrero moves from 53rd to 32th position since their first tournament together.
A pair to watch in the next competitions.
