After Carla Touly in Biella, Italy, it's the turn of Mélissa Martin to reach the final of a FIP Rise. Alongside Bruna Melo, the French won in two sets against the Egyptian pair Tawfik / El Nimr.

On Friday, Martin and Melo had to fight in three sets to qualify for the semi-finals of the FIP Rise from Al Alamein, but this Saturday, the Franco-Portuguese pair left no chance to their opponents. Mélissa and Bruna were more serene and won in two sets, 6/3 6/4 against the Egyptians Tawfik / El Nimr.

Qualified for their first final on an FIP Rise, Mélissa Martin and Bruna Melo will face the number 1 seed: Norton/Van De Hoeck, which knocked out another Egyptian pair 6/0 6/3.

Mélissa wants to participate in more and more FIPs to accumulate points with the aim of participating in the Paris Major at Roland-Garros next September. In the event of victory this afternoon in the final, the Frenchwoman would take one more step towards qualification.

The final will be played this afternoon, unfortunately the match will not be broadcast. We will let you know the result directly.
