The French are very present at Manila for this FIP Bronze, and several of them managed to reach the last 16 stage this Friday.

The “BB” and Hugounenq / Guimet Bigas find themselves in the quarter-finals

The pair Bastien Blanqué / Johan Bergeron (TS2) held their own against modest opposition. Opposed to the Hong Kong players Kwan Lam Vincent Chaud et Chun Ho Chow, the two Tricolors signed a quiet entry into the competition with a win 6/0 6/1, allowing them to access the quarter-finals.

They will find another Frenchman there: Arthur Hugounenq, accompanied by the Spaniard Sergi Guimet Bigas, seeded 6. The pair won 6 / 3 6 / 1 against the French Harold Bernard and to Luxembourg Clement Pelt, also validating their ticket for the quarterfinals.
The shock between Blanqué / Bergeron et Hugounenq / Guimet Bigas will take place this Saturday in second rotation from 12 p.m. (French time) on the central court.

However, not all French people have had the same success. Stanislas Mathias, Jean-François Hug et Yannick Faucard were eliminated from the round of 16 by Timothy Berry et Kobe Cuppens, on the score of 6 / 3 6 / 1.

In the women's category: Carla Touly and Ana Dominguez without trembling

In the women's table, Carla Toully (seeded 1), associated with the Spanish Anna Dominguez, largely dominated their first match. The duo left no play to their Filipino opponents Iah Isobel Macazo et Maria Eliza Margarita Camacho, imposing 6 / 0 6 / 0.

The sequel will probably be more disputed, with a quarterfinal facing the Spanish pair Carla Fernandez Gonzalez / Nerea Guerra Santana (5th seed). The match is scheduled at 10 a.m. (French time) on center court.

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 !
