Two  FIP Bronze  are on the agenda this week in Europe, at  Mol in Belgium  and  Barcelona in Spain Several French players will have to go through the qualifying rounds, including  Manuel Vives / Olivier Guy de Chamisso , but also the  Jules Marie / Benjamin Dufour  In Belgium. In Barcelona, ​​the draw produced an almost entirely French opposition from the qualifying rounds.

Mol: Vives and Guy de Chamisso, a number 1 seed who is anything but ordinary

The qualifications of the  FIP Bronze R3 Bullpadel Cup Mol  They begin with a French pair that is sure to attract attention:  Manuel Vives / Olivier Guy de Chamisso .

The two Frenchmen are  seeded 1 of the qualifications This status is quite logical given their level. Their presence in the preliminary rounds also warrants an explanation:  Vives and Guy de Chamisso received a wild card to participate in the tournament  while on paper they constitute,  the 11th pair of the event .

In other words, their presence in the qualifying rounds poses a serious obstacle for their opponents. On paper, the French are clearly among the favorites to reach the main draw and might not last long on the slopes.

Their entry into the competition is scheduled  around 19:30 p.m. , facing the pair  Keppens / Grantham .

Jules Marie and Benjamin Dufour are also favorites in their respective sections of the draw.

Another French pair will attempt to qualify in Belgium:  Jules Marie / Benjamin Dufour .

The two players, currently ranked  beyond 550th place in the world , are  seeded 6 of the qualifications .

They too will have a real chance. They appear among the favorites in their section of the draw to secure their place in the main draw, where the level should logically rise several notches.

Their first date is scheduled  to 14h Facing  Pestiaux / Zoller .

One particular feature of this Belgian stage is worth noting: the  FIP Bronze R3 Bullpadel Cup Mol does not offer a parallel women's draw. .

Barcelona: an almost all-French duel right from the qualifiers

Next stop, Spain and the  FIP Bronze Padel Barcelona El Prat , where the qualifiers will offer us a duel with strong French overtones.

La  Pair #9 of the prelims, Nathan Perrot / Raphaël Rubio , will face  Jeremy Euphrasie , associated for the occasion with the Cuban  Lazaro Galindo .
