The French have made a successful start to the competition in Rome, but things are more complicated in the other FIP Tour competitions.

End of the road for the French in Dubai

The two Frenchmen engaged on the Dubai side at  FIP Silver Damac Dubai  are eliminated in the first round:

Defeat for  Harold Bernard  (429e) and Luxembourgish  Clement Pelt  (502e), beaten 6/4 3/6 6/2 by the pair  Ali Alarif  /  Eduardo Herrero Del Riego .

On their side,  Mehdi Ketfi  (NC) and  Peter Potasch  (1944e), from the qualifications, also did not get past the first round, with a 6/1 6/0 defeat against  Manuel Muñoz Lozano  (1475e) and  Sebastian Saggiorato  (1944e).

Boronad / Fonteny assure

 FIP Silver Mediolanum Padel Cup – Rome (Italy):  

In men, the pair  Yoan Boronad  (271e) and  Timeo Fonteny  (235e) wins his first match against the Argentinian  Lucas Danuzzo  (601e) and Spanish  Leon David Ruiz Shannon  (337e), with a 6/4 6/2 victory. They will face the number 3 seed in the second round.

In the ladies,  Jessica Ginier Barbier  (117e) and  Lucile Pothier  (183e) won 7/6 6/3 against the Italians  Martina Pugliesi  (437e) and  Paola Ciabattoni  (176e).

Sichez / Duprat without solution

The French pair composed of  Romain Sichez  (1215e) and  Bilal Duprat  (1064e) faced the number 1 seed in the first round of the FIP Bronze Manama (Bahrain). Facing two very highly ranked players,  Anthony Fernandez  (45e) and  Federico Mourino  (57e), the French logically lost 6/1 6/2 without having been able to create a surprise.

End of qualifications for the FIP Silver Bristol (United Kingdom)

 Rafael Marquet  (1477e) and Spanish  Pablo Chacon Diaz  (1477e) failed at the gates of the main draw, beaten 6/1 6/3 by the Spaniards  Alvaro Salgado Soriano  (888e) and  Jaime Lobo  (834e) .

A big sports enthusiast and former tennis player, I discovered padel a few years ago without really focusing on it. Then I became addicted to this sport by practicing it and watching the premier padel matches. Looking forward to sharing the 2025 news with you!
