Big change at FIP Bronze Marnes The top two seeds of the tournament will ultimately not be present, completely reshuffling the cards in this already very competitive men's draw.
The seed 2 composed of Thomas Leygue et Anthony Fernandez withdrew, as did the number 1 seed Mario Del Castillo / Ignacio Vilariño .
The immediate consequence: the tournament becomes much more open and several French pairs now see a real opportunity to make a big run.
A tough first round between Raichman/Muesser and Vanbauce/Pillon
The main change directly concerns Philemon Raichman et Yanis Muesser .
Initially opposed to Rafael Marquet / Thomas Panken they finally take the place left vacant by Leygue / Fernandez in the table.
As a result, we'll have a very tough first round against Thomas Vanbauce / Lucas Pillon , in what is already shaping up to be one of the early tournament matches.
The Groen brothers take the place of the number 1 seed
At the top of the table, it is now the Dutch Kai Groen et Mats Groen who take over the top seed 1 spot left vacant after the withdrawal of Del Castillo / Vilariño.
They will face a pair from the qualifiers or a lucky loser in the first round.
The withdrawal of the Spanish also creates more places in the final draw with the arrival of several lucky losers.
Completely altered print runs
Another important consequence: several pairs completely change trajectory in the table.
The seed 4, Juan Zamora Perez / Alejandro Garcia Calahorro , who was originally supposed to face the Groen brothers, now finds himself facing a team from the qualifiers.
On their side, Rafael Marquet / Thomas Panken , who were supposed to play Raichman / Muesser, ultimately benefit from a much more favorable draw with a match against a pair from the qualifiers or lucky loser.
A real opportunity for the French
With the withdrawals of two of the main favorite pairs, French ambitions inevitably take on a new dimension.
Duos such as:
- Boronad / Blanqué
- Vanbauce / Pillon
- Raichman / Muesser
- Benjamin Tison / Adrien Maigret
- or, Jover / Potel
can now believe in a very long run in this particularly open FIP Bronze Marnes.
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 !
