Several French pairs were in the running to try to reach the quarter-finals of the FIP Silver Champ Fleuri, and these are Raichman / Muesser et Vanbauce / Seurin who managed to qualify.

Raichman / Muesser solid, but expected at the turn

La seeded 6 Philemon Raichman et Yanis Muesser confirm their status. Opposed to Pierre Perez Le Tiec / Damien Lozano, winners the day before Julien Guillery / Louis Bastard (6/1 6/0), the two Frenchmen win 6 / 1 7 / 6 at the end of a rather controlled match even if they gave themselves a scare in the second with a break before reacting and winning in the tie break. Raichman and Muesser thus qualify for the quarterfinals, where they will face the seeded 1, Antonio Fernandez / Pablo Garcia Rodrigo, fallers of Kamel Mouimen / Lilian Fouré (6/0 6/0)The match is scheduled for the second rotation at 2 p.m. (French time) on center court.

Vanbauce / Seurin: scared themselves

Thomas Vanbauce and Julien Seurin, seeded number 5 and best French pair in the tournament, continue their journey at FIP Silver Champ Fleuri with first facing the locals Alexandre Pichon de Bury and Léo (7 / 5 6 / 1), respecting logic and validating their ticket for the eighth. Then opposed to Bilal Duprat and Guillaume Ledrap, winners of Baptiste Maître and Silvain Moreau, Vanbauce and Seurin came close to falling off the road. Led after winning a first set 7/5 by their opponents, the French knew how to react by raising their level of play, more solid in key moments, to finally turn the match around (5/7 6/4 6/4). A mental victory, against a Guillaume Ledrap on fire and Bilal Duprat very solid, which allows them to reach the quarter-finals. They will face the seed n ° 4, Gustavo Nunes et José Solano Marmolejo, heartbreakers without trembling Lucas Landais and Jérémy Charton (6/1 6/0)The match is scheduled to start no earlier than 16 p.m. (French time) on center court.

Foreign favorites at the rendezvous

La seeded 2, Facundo Dominguez / Mario Huete, continues on its way (6 / 3 6 / 2 salary. Romain Gutstein / Paul-Henri Teyssedre) and will find himself in the quarter Aitor Garcia / Andres Britos (ts8), easy winners of Simon Iafare / Joan Fede (6/1 6/3).
Same scenario for the seeded 3, Fran Ramirez Navas / Miguel Gonzalez, which without discussion rules out the local wild card Romain Grenet Laffont / David Saintot (6/0 6/2). They will be opposed to Alejandro Prados / Jose Pedro Montalban Martin (ts7), fallers of Loïck and Ronan Bruandet (7/6 6/7 6/1), the French played a huge match and shook up this 7th seed.

Three French pairs still in the race

With Raichman / Muesser et Vanbauce / Seurin qualified, France places two pairs in quarters in a tough table. The next matches promise to be difficult, but the Blues have already proven that they can compete with the top level of the FIP Silver Champ Fleuri.

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 !
