Le FIP Gold of Potosi, in Mexico, ends for the French representatives, who did not manage to get past their first match. 100% French pair formed by Julien Seurin (154) et Maxime Moreau (129), seeded No. 3 in the tournament, was exempted from the first round and entered directly into the round of XNUMX. Favorites in this match against Bart Van Opstal (251) et Adrian Rodriguez Manzaneque (168), they were however unable to impose themselves, losing in three sets 6/1 4/6 7/5.
This tournament represented a great opportunity to score points, the level of competition being relatively accessible for a FIP Gold. With their recent qualification for the main draw at Newgiza P2, both players seemed to be on a good dynamic, but this match did not allow them to advance in the tournament. We will see them again at Mexico FIP Platinum from November 17.
On the side of Philemon Raichman (225), the tournament was not more favorable. Associated with his Egyptian partner George Wakim (241), they started the competition in the round of 16, but lost to Jose Alexandre Meireles (352) et Joao Maria Caiano (261) in two sets 6 / 3 7 / 6On paper, this meeting seemed affordable for Raichman and Wakim, but they failed to make the difference.
Raichman and Wakim will be found at FIP Star Beau-Plan in Mauritius, starting next week.
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 !
