Le  FIP Star O West Cairo  will mark a before and after for Egyptian padel. With a large TV deployment, very attractive pairs, and a unique setting, it is a turning point for the growth of padel in Egypt.

Tison / Zapata aims for the last four

As we told you last week, this FIP Star is an opportunity for Benjamin Tison to win a first international title for French men's padel. Associated with Teodoro Zapata, the sixteenth-finalists from Miami will form the No. 6 pair of this tournament.

All this therefore indicates that there will be 5 higher ranked pairs that could end up on the path of Tison/Zapata.

By chance, Ben Tison will enter the competition against his teammate in the French team Maxime Moreau and his young compatriot Dylan Guichard. The two Frenchmen have benefited from a wild card to participate in this tournament.  See you at 13 p.m. this Friday. 

Victor Ruiz/José Rico, Raul Marcos/Javier Garcia, or even Del Castillo/Luque make this tournament even more prestigious by their level.

Spotlight on Egyptian padel

In the West of Cairo, and a stone's throw from the Pyramids of Giza, this tournament will be the perfect showcase for Egyptian padel which is experiencing crazy growth.

6 nationalities (Spain, France, Italy, Egypt, Qatar, United Kingdom), will be represented. The Russian player  Vladimir Nifontov  also intended to participate, but the war in his country put his career on hold.

Egyptian television will also be there to give padel the visibility it deserves. Padel Magazine will also allow you to experience this FIP Star as if you were there.
