The Bandol FIP Rise starts in less than a week. And the tournament already promises to be very hot with a large French and Spanish contingent on the menu. We also find among the highest ranked players of the tournament, Italians well known to the French, since they were the opponents of the French team during the European Championships which took place in Sardinia including Marco Cassetta, 100th player world and the highest ranked of the tournament which will be associated with Alvaro Montiel Caruso, a player accustomed to playing international tournaments in France.

Julien Seurin and Adrien Maigret take a little break. Their association has so far not borne fruit. Consequence: the member of the France team will play in Belgium while the left-hander will play with another member of the France team: Max Moreau. It will therefore be a blue white red pair at the top of series 4.

Another tricolor pair will be worth watching: Maxime Joris who is not parting ways with Thomas Vanbauce, but who had an opportunity to take on Bastien Blanqué during an international tournament in Bandol. This will be the 7th seed.

We will thus find Thomas Vanbauce playing alongside another Frenchman, the left-handed Simon Wagner. With 0 points on the clock, it's a golden opportunity for the Alsatian to earn the first international points and launch the adventure on the FIP Tour. This will be pair n°17.
