There will be a Frenchman in the semi-finals of the FIP Rise Porto Sant'Elpidio in Italy. In wet conditions far from obvious, Clement Geens and Dylan Guichard offer themselves the seeded 4 of the tournament, the Italians Lorenzo Di Giovanni and Daniele Cattaneo.

Led 3/0 in the first set, the Franco-Belgian pair did not panic and managed to come back quickly. She even has opportunities to break and take advantage. But the Italian pair clings. In the tie-break, Dylan and Clément are solid and win it 7/5.

FIP RISE Porto: the French still in the race!

In the second set, once again, the Franco-Belgian pair got off to a bad start and quickly found themselves trailing 2-0. Once again, Dylan/Clément takes over the Italian pair. Opportunities arise to win this game. But the Italians are tenacious and take Dylan and Clément to a new tie-break. Again, the 8th seed of the tournament is solid and wins it 7 points to 4.

Tomorrow at 10:30 am, facing the Franco-Belgian pair, it will be the seeded 1 opposite, the Argentine pair Cristian Gutierrez and Ignacio Piotto, the big favorites of the competition.
