Who will win the first edition of the FIP Star Beau Plan in Mauritius?

In the first part of the table, Aitor Garcia Bassas (98) et Miguel Angel Solbes (69), seeded 1, benefit from a favourable draw. Due to their status, they will start in the round of 8. For their first match, they will face either Jasha Saas (1261) / Ali Ahmed (1261)Either Silvain Moreau (1769) / Romain Gutstein (1769), two pairs with little experience on the FIP circuit. In the quarter-finals, if everything goes as planned, they could meet Thomas Vanbauce (179) et Simon Wagner (604)This quarter-final would be the first real test for the Spaniards, even if they would start as favourites with several main draws on the circuit. Premier Padel to their credit.

On their side, Vanbauce et Wagner, the tournament's 6th seed, obviously have a big chunk in their sights. They are not favorites and will therefore have nothing to lose in this confrontation.

In case of qualification for the ts1, Garcia and Solbes would meet in the semi-final Maxime Joris (171) et Timéo Fonteny (292), seeded 4, or Sergio Nieto Simon (202) et Alvaro Lopez Luque (240), seeded 5, who should face each other in the quarter-finals. Joris and Fonteny, who are coming off a good performance at the World Championships with the French team, have a slight advantage for this potential quarter-final. Garcia and Solbes would nevertheless be favorites for the semi-final, regardless of the opponent.

In the other part of the table, Thomas Leygue (101) et Ignacio Piotto (82), seeded 2, have a clearer path to the semi-finals. They should, however, be wary in the quarter-finals. Dorian De Meyer (321) et Guillem Figuerola (214)If logic is respected, Leygue and Piotto could meet in the semi-finals. Dylan Guichard (119) et Clément Geens (100), seeded 3. This is obviously the poster announced in this tournament for a semi-final scheduled for Saturday morning.

But be careful, because the Franco-Belgian pair could however be put to the test from the 8th with Pierre-Vincent et Benjamin Grue and in the quarter-finals potentially facing Nicolas Rouanet et Maxime Forcin, two seasoned French pairs even if Guichard and Geens remain the favourites to reach the semi-finals.

As for the women's table and possible confrontations, a detailed analysis will follow in a future article.

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 !
