At the start of this FIP Star Gran Canaria, there were 9 French. Unfortunately, none of them managed to qualify for the quarter-finals of the tournament.

The surprised French

In the first round, we found 5 French. Unfortunately, the two tricolor pairs Seurin/Vives and Raichman/Cancel got knocked down. The latest Rio Branco FIP Rise finalists were beaten in two sets by Jorge Alfaro (159th in the FIP ranking) and Francisco Gomes (90th in the FIP ranking) on ​​the score of 7 / 6 6 / 4. Ludovic Cancel and Philemon Raichman failed to find the solution against the tournament's No. 2 seed, Raúl Marcos (39th in the FIP ranking) and Javier Garcia (51st in the FIP ranking), suffering a logical defeat in two sets 6/1 7/5.

Maxime Moreau and his Spanish teammate Joaquime Florensa Hernandez managed to advance to the second round after their 6/2 6/4 victory over Spaniards Antolin Solla and Caton Calvo. In the second round, the Franco-Spanish pair fell to the executioners of Cancel and Raichman. Once again, the seeded No. 2 of the tournament imposes its law and imposes itself on the score of 6 / 2 6 / 2.

No miracle either among the ladies

After winning the first round 6/3, the tricolor pair was knocked down and finally lost on the score of 3/6 6/4 6/1.

Just like Elodie and Wendy, Mélissa Martin and her Portuguese teammate Bruna Melo first won the first round in their confrontation, but they were finally surprised by their opponents Aitana Garcia (152nd in the FIP ranking) and Catarina Santos (159th in the FIP ranking) who prevailed 4/6 6/3 6/0.
