Asunción P2 qualifications officially kick off Paraguayan week, with a French pair to watch closely: Johan Bergeron / Timéo Fonteny designated seeded 8th in the prelims . By 708 point The French arrive with the status of a solid pair… but clearly an outsider in a very South American landscape dense and treacherous.
Placed in the upper part of the table The French team will have to achieve a flawless performance: three rounds to win to secure their ticket to the main draw. A demanding path, especially since, if things go according to plan, they could face the qualifiers in the final. seed 1 in qualifying , Juan Ignacio Rubini / Maxi Sanchez Aguero , the clear favorite in the upper part of the table.
Le first round of qualifications begins for the French pair this Sunday at 19:30 with an opening match against an Argentinian pair. On paper, Bergeron/Fonteny are the favorites, but in this type of South American context, we know how unreliable it is not to always trust the rankings of the pairs.
In the women's competition, the French presence will be ensured by Alix Collombon , currently 34th player in the world , associated with the Spanish Jana Montes The Franco-Spanish pair arrives with the status of Pair 17 of the tournament Note that the gap is narrowing with certain pairs that came through qualifying: barely 300 points separate the top seed 1 from the previas of Collombon / Montes.
A clear signal: in an increasingly dense circuit, the gaps are narrowing And a drop in results can quickly have consequences. The Frenchwoman will therefore need to perform well to avoid falling back into a qualifying phase she had managed to leave behind.
