The FIP Star Gran Canaria, which takes place at Club La Calzada from November 4 to 8, 2020 will feature 214 players from 12 different countries.

12 countries represented

This is further proof of the internationalization of padel. The FIP Star Gran Canaria, whose previa start tonight, will have nationals of no less than 12 different countries! Germany, Argentina, Chile, Spain, France, Italy, Peru, Portugal, United Kingdom, Sweden, Uruguay, and Venezuela will be represented!

Although the tournament takes place at the same time as the World Padel Tour Alicante Open, the main draw of this FIP Star Gran Canaria starts on Friday, and we find many WPT players, who are unlikely to still be in contention on Friday in Alicante.

7 French people going

Among the French registered, the first to play will be Thomas Leygue and Nicolas Trancart, who start their tournament on Wednesday evening at 21h in previa, facing Curbelo Nieto / Egido Gandolfi.

All the others will enter the running Friday in 16 h for Jérémy Scatena and Benjamin Tison, will be once again opposed to the number 2 seed of the tournament. This time it will be Adrian Blanco and Pedro Alonso who will face them!

Right after, at 16h, there will be a duel between champions of France since Johan Bergeron and Victor Mena Gil will face Bastien Blanqué and his partner for this tournament, Jose Jimenez Casas, a match that smells of powder!

Finally at 17h Melissa Martin et Carla Castillon Velarde will face two players who oscillate between the preprevia and previa of World Padel Tour : Marta Borrero and Raquel Segura!
