A day of contrasts for the  French people involved in the FIP Tour . Between the  FIP Silver from Koksijde , the  FIP Bronze Hungary  And with the women's tournaments yet to start, several French players have had difficult beginnings, with some frustrating eliminations. But it's not all bad news:  Blanqué / Joris ,  Vanbauce / Miranda ,  Sichez / Perez Le Tiec  et  Laura Buteau  continue on their way.

Bergeron / Seurin exited the game at Koksijde

Hard blow to the  FIP Silver Koksijde  to  Johan Bergeron / Julien Seurin , seeded 3rd. Facing the Dutch  Menno Nolten / Yannick Verwater The French were defeated in their first match by a score of  7 / 6 7 / 5 .

A frustrating defeat, with two very close sets, but a result that hurts for a pair who could have aimed far in this draw.

Same disappointment for  Manuel Vives / Philemon Raichman , seeded 9th. Facing the Belgians  Maxime Deloyer / Nathan Lambrechts The French have not found the solutions and are bowing down.  6 / 2 6 / 3 .

Blanqué / Joris and Vanbauce continue

Good news, however, for  Bastien Blanqué / Maxime Joris , seeded 7th. Facing the German qualifiers  Matthias Wunner / Johannes Lindmeyer The French had to fight hard but prevailed.  6/2 3/6 6/2 .

In the round of 16, they will face the Belgian wild card.  Bram Coene / Joris De Weerdt , faller of  Thomas Seux / Louis Jover  on the score of  6 / 3 7 / 5 .

 Thomas Vanbauce , associated with Spanish  Lucas Miranda He too got his tournament off to a good start. Victory  6 / 4 6 / 1  facing the Dutchman  John De Waele  and Spanish  Jaime Escañuela Both came through qualifying. In the round of 16, the test will be tougher against the 4th seed.  Victor Tur Checa / Agustin Reca .

Sichez/Perez Le Tiec on schedule, Muesser/Biron stopped

Another French victory in Koksijde:  Romain Sichez / Pierre Perez Le Tiec  dominated the Germans  Jonas Trümpler / Tobias Rauch , from the qualifiers, with a score of  6 / 3 6 / 1 .

In the round of 2, the challenge will be significant against the second seeded team.  Francisco Cabeza Teres / Mariano Agustin Gonzalez San Martin A big match, but also a great opportunity to pull off a major upset.

However, the journey has come to an end for  Yanis Muesser / Julien Biron , beaten by the visiting Belgians  Tibo De Vylder / Maxime De Roose  :  6 / 4 7 / 5 .

 Kamel Mouimen / Bilal Duprat  failed to make an impact against the 8th seed  Alvaro Lopez Luque / Filippo Nicocia , with a clear defeat  6 / 1 6 / 1 .

In the ladies,  Marie-Amelie Dardaine  and the Belgian  Noemi Sermant The 8th seeded team will start directly in the round of 16 against the Germans.  Lena Pluemer / Katharina Hering .

Buteau starts strong in Hungary, Marcarie/Senjean already out

Au  FIP Bronze Hungary ,  Laura Buteau  got her tournament off to a perfect start. Partnered with the Spanish player  Inés Muñoz Escudero The Frenchwoman won convincingly against the Romanians.  Elena Sararu / Cristina Aiello  :  6 / 1 6 / 1 .

In the round of 16, Buteau and Muñoz will face  Juhasz / Réka Luca , a match within their grasp to try and continue their journey.

However,  Cassandra Senjean / Manon Marcarie The eighth-seeded team has already exited the tournament. They were facing the Spanish team.  Verdejo / Gomez The French women bow down  6 / 1 7 / 6 A second set that was closer, but not enough to reverse the trend.

Sireix awaits its entry into Georgia

Au  FIP Bronze of Georgia ,  Camille Sireix  and the Dutch  Tess De Vocht , the number 1 seed, will begin their tournament against  Viktoriya Prudnikova / Kseniia Danko .

Given their status, they will clearly have the ambition to go far in the tournament, perhaps even contend for the title. They need to manage their opening match well to confirm their status as favorites.

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 !
