Enzo Couacaud continues his adventure in international padel. The former professional tennis player will be present at the  FIP Bronze Marnes , organized from  September 1st to 5th at Forest Hill in Marnes-la-Coquette , this time with a new partner:  Philemon Raichman , 266th player in the world.

Couacaud wants to continue testing himself on the FIP Tour

Enzo Couacaud had told us this on the microphone of Padel Magazine The Frenchman has developed a taste for padel and now wishes  play more and test yourself on the international circuit .

He had just taken his first steps on the  FIP Tour last May , on the occasion of the first edition of the FIP Bronze Marnes. For his debut at this level, the former tennis player had directly entered the main draw.

And the experience didn't end there. Couacaud then continued his training with two appearances in  round of 16 on FIP Silver cards, in Palermo and then in Porto Encouraging results for a player who is still relatively new to the international padel circuit.

For this September's start of the academic year, he returns to Marnes-la-Coquette with the ambition of  reach a new milestone .

An unprecedented partnership with Philémon Raichman

Alongside him, we will find  Philemon Raichman , current  266rd player in the world The Parisian also knows the Forest Hill in Marnes-la-Coquette perfectly, having participated in the first edition of the tournament.

Raichman was then playing with  Yanis Muesser Their journey ended in the round of 32, at the end of a tournament that left both players very frustrated and ultimately led to their separation.

A few months later, Raichman returned to Marnes with a new partner and a rather atypical profile.

 A pair to watch in Marnes-la-Coquette 

On paper, the association  Quack / Raichman  Intriguing. On one side, a player with relatively little experience on the FIP Tour, but whose past as a professional tennis player and early performances in padel show interesting potential. On the other, a player more accustomed to international competitions and capable of bringing his circuit experience to the table.

There's no indication yet that this pair is destined to become a long-term staple. But for the  FIP Bronze Marnes it will undoubtedly constitute  one of the French associations to watch closely .

Having discovered the tournament in May, Enzo Couacaud returned a few months later with a clear idea:  continue to accumulate experience and, this time, try to go further in the painting.
