The week is not starting under the best auspices for the French players involved in the tournaments. FIPWhile there have been some bright spots, the majority of the French have had a difficult, even frustrating, start to the season.

FIP Silver Treviso (Italy): frustration among the ladies

In Italy, Louise Bahurel (147th) teamed up with the Spanish Ivet Val Lopez (154th). The two players lost in their first match against two Italians, Caterina Maria Baldi et Marianela Montesi, after a very close battle: 6/7 6/1 7/6A match where the Franco-Spanish pair came very close.

Same fate for Laura Buteau (212th), associated with the Portuguese Luisa Roque De Pinho (234th). They also lost in the first round against Francesca Ligotti et Leire Uriarte Medina on the score of 7 / 5 6 / 3.

FIP Bronze Tbilisi: the Lalloum brothers absent

Initially engaged in the qualifications of the FIP Bronze of Tbilisi, Sonny and Lyrone Lalloum (both ranked 1213th) ultimately withdrew before their entry into the competition.

FIP Silver Chengdu (China): a little success and some performances

In China, several French people made the trip, with varying fortunes.

Lucas Filippini (678th), associated with Aram Kocharyan (897th), started his tournament well by winning in the first round against Damien Hall et Mainard Mendel Sahagun : 6/2 4/6 6/0A solid match that propels them into the round of 2, where they will face a big challenge: the second seed Emilio Sanchez Chamero / Daniel Santigosa Sastre.

Lucky break for Kamel Mouimen (753e) and Julien Biron (1764th), rescued in extremis as lucky losers after their defeat in the final round of qualifying. And double luck, since they benefited from a forfeit from their opponents in the first round of the main draw. Heading to the round of 6 where they will cross paths with the XNUMXth seed, Carlos Perez Cabeza / Sergio Icardo.

Rodolphe Lonjaret (2337th), who had a very good run in qualifying with his partner Daniel Nino (771st), failed to confirm in the first round of the main draw. They lost 6 / 3 6 / 2 facing the 8th seed, Diego Arredondo Garcia / Sergio Alba.

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 !
