There is only one French hope left on the FIP Tour this week.  Marie-Amélie Dardaine / Clara Mansart  continue their good run at  FIP Silver Utrecht , While  Nathan Courrin / Thomas Basso  were stopped in the quarterfinals in Casablanca and  Arthaud Dumoulin / Kilian Jordan  had to abandon the race in Phuket.

Dardaine/Mansart turn the match around and secure another semi-final spot.

In Utrecht,  Marie-Amélie Dardaine / Clara Mansart  continue their very good week.

After having largely dominated  Luciana Renic / Alissa Schmitz 6/0 6/1 This time, the French women had to battle against  Victoria Nicholas / Chloe De La Mare .

Trailing after losing the first set, they reacted perfectly to turn the match around and win.  4/6 6/3 6/1 .

A fantastic victory that allows them to clinch  a new semi-final in FIP Silver .

They will now face the 5th seed.  Stephanie Weterings / Liza Groenveld , with a real opportunity to go and find a  first final in FIP Silver .

The meeting is scheduled for  13 noon on the center court .

Courrin/Basso are eliminated in the quarterfinals in Casablanca

In Casablanca,  Nathan Courrin / Thomas Basso  were the last French players still in the running.

After eliminating the 5th seed  Larbi Lahlou / Fran Ramirez Navas 6/2 6/1 They had perfectly negotiated their round of 16 match against the wild card  Mohamed Ali Sakkat / Idriss Hicham with a very clear victory  6 / 1 6 / 0 .

Their journey ultimately ended in the quarter-finals against  Javier Collantes Guijo / Asier Martinez Lopez .

A pair full of confidence, having just beaten the number 2 seed.

Courrin / Basso bow  7 / 5 6 / 4 , after a close match, but leave Casablanca with a quarter-final and an overall positive week.

Dumoulin/Jordan forced to abandon in Phuket

In Phuket,  Arthaud Dumoulin / Kilian Jordan  They too had a great opportunity.

After their victory  7 / 5 6 / 2  In the first round, they benefited from an open draw after the withdrawal of the number 1 seed and had to face the lucky losers.  Fares Al Janahi / Abdullah Alabdulla .

But the meeting was short-lived.

Hit in the back  Kilian Jordan  They were unable to continue after losing the first set. The Franco-Swiss pair were therefore forced to retire.

A frustrating end when a place in the quarter-finals seemed well within reach.

Dardaine / Mansart, France's last hope

After the eliminations in Casablanca and Phuket, only one French pair remains in the running this week:  Marie-Amélie Dardaine / Clara Mansart .

Already in the semi-finals in Utrecht, the French women will have a real opportunity this Saturday to take another step forward and go for  their first FIP ​​Silver final .

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 !
