This is the last-minute blow: Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto, initially announced as headliners of the FIP Platinum Lyon, will ultimately not be not presentAn absence that inevitably disappoints the spectators, but the line-up remains exceptional with several world top 20 players and high-flying posters from the first round.
Di Nenno / Leal inherit the status of seed 1
With this package, the pair Martín Di Nenno / Javi Leal becomes seeded 1 of the tournament. And fate has not given them any gifts: they will face the pair from their first match Javier Valdés / Agustín Gutiérrez, for a clash that could easily have been higher in the table, showing the high level of the tournament.
Just behind, the seeded 2, Momo González / Fran Guerrero, will cross paths with José Jiménez / Maxi Sánchez : another explosive entry poster.
The French are ready to fight
- Yoan Boronad and Timéo Fonteny will start against the seeded 6, Javi Garrido / Diego Gil, a huge challenge. Fonteny, however, already knows his opponents well: he had beaten Diego Gil with Benjamin Tison in an FIP Gold earlier in the season.
- Dylan Guichard and Manuel Vives, reigning French champions, will inherit a more affordable but tricky first round against Alberto García Jiménez / Víctor Tur Checa.
- Johan Bergeron and Bastien Blanqué, they, pulled a good batch : they will face a team from the qualifications, before a possible tough duel against Edu Alonso / Juan Tello ou Juan Cruz Belluati / Álvaro Montiel in the next round.
Dream halves
If logic is respected, the semi-finals could offer level shocks Premier Padel :
- Di Nenno / Leal face Barahona / Garcia
- Alonso / Tello salary. González / Guerrero
Posters that promise a very high level on the Lyon slopes.
French women face heavyweights
In the women's race, the French team was not spared by the draw:
- La wildcard Kimy Barla / Lou Lambert Agosti will immediately face the seeded 2, Lucía Sainz / Alejandra Alonso de Villa.
- The other wildcard, Camille Sireix / Melissa Martin, will cross the seeded 8, Nuria Rodríguez / Giulia Dal Pozzo.
- Alix Collombon / Jessica Ginier will start against the seeded 4, Aranza Osoro / Victoria Iglesias, not the best of draws for the Lyonnaises who come up against a pair from the world top 20.
- Carla Touly / Lucía Peralta will find Carolina Navarro / Mónica Gómez Rivas, Touly has already beaten Carolina Navarro this season.
- Léa Godallier / Giorgia Marchetti will have a more open draw against Ana Domínguez / Aida Martínez.
- Finally, the local Lucile Potier et Louise Bahurel will face a team from the qualifications, before a potential second round against Osoro / Iglesias ou Collombon / Ginier.
A high-level line-up and an explosive first day
Le main board begin Wednesday, a direct on Padel MagTV, with from 1/16th of the very high-level posters.
Despite the absence of Galán and Chingotto, the FIP Platinum Lyon promises to be one of the finest FIP tournaments of the year, where the French will try to shine at home facing an international armada.
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 !
