The first day of qualifying for the FIP Platinum Marseille was intense at CAP 7With several French athletes in attendance, and between expected confirmations and strong performances from the French team, the stage is now set for a very competitive second round, which will take place this Tuesday morning.
Before we look ahead, let's take a quick look back at this first act.
A quick recap of the first round: solid and combative French players
The French generally turned out in force during the Q1.
The qualifications of Manuel Vives / Maxime Joris at the end of a huge all-French duel, the confirmation of Dylan Guichard / Clement Geens, the fine performance of Jérémy Robert / Yoan Boronad, not forgetting the successes of Bastien Blanqué / Marcos Córdoba and Fiona Ligi / Charlotte Soubrié among the ladies.
Conversely, some posters were too prominent right from the entrance, as with Muesser / Raichman, exited with honor against the number 1 seed.
Now place at second turn, with even more challenging posters.

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 !
