Le FIP Gold Dubai enters its decisive phase, and France will be well represented in the semi-finals with Maxime Joris and Léa Godallier , who will try to secure their place in the final. A great opportunity for the two French players.
The semi-finals program:
Central Court – From 18 p.m. (French time)
- Julieta Evangelina Bidahorria / Lucia Martinez Gomez [TS1] vs Laura Luján Rodriguez / Marta Arellano Navarro [TS5]
- Pablo Cuesta Gomez / Bart Van Opstal vs Maxime Joris / Guillem Figuerola Santiago [TS6]
Court 3 – From 18 p.m. (French time)
- Sandra Bellver Fructuoso / Léa Godallier [TS4] vs Barbara Las Heras / Esther Carnicero Martin [TS2]
- Pepe Aliaga / Juan Ignacio Rubini [TS3] vs Simon Vasquez / Adam Axelsson [TS2]
Godallier and Bellver approach this semi-final with confidence , after having already beaten Las Heras and Carnicero last week at the FIP Silver in Valencia . A mental victory against a higher ranked pair. Joris and Figuerola also have a great opportunity against a lower ranked pair than them.
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 !
