At FIP ​​Rise Hamburg, we will therefore have two French people in the semi-final, since Philémon Raichman, associated with the Dutch Thijs Roper, managed to get past the Spanish pair Javier Mena Moreno / Marco Remolina Pablo. Next round, tomorrow, against another Spanish pair, Pau Minano Ortinez / Jaume Romera Barcela, who managed to beat the 7th seed, Nogueras / Pastor, and especially the 1st seed of the tournament, the Italian pair Sinicropi / DiGiovanni.

Philémon Raichman explains to us that “this position on the right is very suitable. I am more patient. I manage to be aggressive up there. I think this positioning is a plus for me.”

In the race for a place in the French team for the European Padel Championships in Italy, we know that anything can play a role...

The Franco-Dutch pair will therefore have nothing to lose in the semi-final against a pair who will be favorites in this opposition.

Remember that earlier, the 2nd seed of the tournament, the Franco-Spanish pair, Max Moreau / Alberto Garcia Jimenez, continues its adventure at the bottom of the table with a victory against the Spanish pair Caton Calvo / Peralta Corredor.

Tomorrow, Moreau / Jimenez will once again have to face a Spanish pair: Cabeza Teres / Aragon Herrera. On paper, slight advantage in the ranking at seed 2.
