Exempt from the first round thanks to their status of  seed n ° 2 ,  Léa Godallier  and Argentina  Daiara Valenzuela  will make their debut directly in  round of XNUMX .

The two players will face the Spanish team.  Lorena Alonso de Lera  (154e) and  Lucia Dionisio Laureano  (161st), with the ambition to confirm their status as favorites and to continue the good momentum shown in recent weeks.

 A much-anticipated rematch for Fonteny and Boronad

After their convincing victory in the first round,  Timeo Fonteny  et  Yoan Boronad  will find  Marcos Gonzalez Blanco  (96e) and  Martin abud  (97e)  #4 seeded , for a highly anticipated rematch.

The four players had already faced each other a few weeks ago in  quarter-final of the FIP Silver tournament in Narbonne in one of the most beautiful matches of the tournament.

The duo will challenge the  seed n ° 1 , made of  david gala  (31e) and  Enzo jensen  (50th), the tournament's top favorites.

A real test for the Frenchman against two players accustomed to the highest level of tournaments. Premier Padel.
