The start was calm for almost all the French and Belgian players during the FIP Rise Antalya taking place in Turkey.
Thomas Leygue and Ferran Insa won with a score of 6/3, 6/0 against the Polish pair composed of Jerzy Janowicz and Maciej Naduk. They had to be taken seriously, particularly because of the presence of the former 13th world tennis player in their ranks. Remember that the two Polish players also took part in the European Games in Krakow. Their next opponent will be the Spanish pair, Garcia Aguila / Pecos Aguza. The No. 3 seed of the tournament, favorite for this match.
On the other hand, the Franco-Belgian pair, made up of Clément Geens and Jérôme Inzerillo, faced a delicate first round against the young Isaac Huysveld and the Spaniard Josep Aymeric. However, the Inzerillo / Geens pair was able to control the match, winning in two sets, 6/2 6/4. Their next confrontation will be in the round of XNUMX against the Swiss pair, Rloff / Lopez.
As for the number 2 seed in the table, Jérémy Scatena / Nicolas Deloyer, she easily won her first round against the Anglo-Belgian pair, Dollimore / Meessen, with a score of 6/1 6/1. In 8th, the Sino-Australian pair, Brown / Kusakabe, seems to be too far below to challenge the number 2 seed.
If no twist is expected for these round of 15, the most anticipated match would probably be that between Inzerillo / Geens and Scatena / Deloyer, thus confronting two Franco-Belgian pairs. A confrontation which promises to be unprecedented and captivating scheduled for 30:XNUMX p.m. and which will perhaps be followed live.
