A week after the first edition, the FIP Silver La Réunion II will start at Reunion Island Padel Saint-Paul Club, with almost identical main draws. The same headliners, the same ambitions, and new duels to be expected.

Men's: The favorites return

No surprises in the seeding rankings:

  • Antonio Fernández / Pablo Garcia (n ° 1)
  • Mario Huete / Facundo Domínguez (n ° 2)
  • Fran Ramírez / Miguel González (n ° 3)
  • Gustavo Nunes / José Solano (n ° 4)

Behind them, the French Thomas Vanbauce / Julien Seurin will seed n ° 5, While Philemon Raichman / Yanis Muesser inherit the rank of seed n ° 6.

The table offers a scenario almost identical to that of the first FIP ​​Silver: if the logic is respected, Vanbauce and Seurin could find in quarter-finals Nunes / Solano, who had beaten them on details last week. This time, the French will have a revenge to take. But before that, Nunes and Solano will have to be wary from the first round de Bilal Duprat / Guillaume Ledrap, authors of a very good tournament last week.

For Raichman and Muesser, the draw is tougher. If they qualify for the quarterfinals, they should cross paths with the second seed Mario Huete / Facundo DomínguezA difficult encounter, but not impossible: the French showed a great rise in power last week, while the Spanish-Italian pair sometimes experienced some slumps.

Among the posters to follow from the first round, French-French shock : Alexandre Pichon de Bury / Léo Pérez will face Pierre Perez Le Tiec / Damien Lozano, with an 8th against the seed n ° 8, Aitor García / Andrés BritosAnother poster, the “padel globe trotters” Yohan Boré / Samy Charni will challenge the Spaniards from the outset Fran Ramírez / Miguel González (n ° 3).

Behind, the main board is full of 100% French duels and local pairs who will try to go far.

Among the women: French women in force

The women's table changes a little. The top two seeds are:

  • Julia Polo / Noemi Aguilar (n ° 1)
  • Alba Perez / Lorena Vano (n ° 2)

Behind, the rest of the painting is almost entirely tricolor, led by:

  • Steffi Merah / Marie-Amélie Dardaine (n ° 3)
  • Clara Mansart / Manon Marcarie (n ° 4)

If logic is respected, the semi-finals could pit Mansart / Marcarie à Polo / Aguilar, and Merah / Dardaine à Perez / Vano. Two promising duels where the French will have the opportunity to seek valuable FIP points.

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 !
