More than complicated day for French players involved in FIP Rise Frascati (Italy) and FIP Star Gran Canaria (Spain). There are only two players left in Rome and none left in Spain!
FIP Star Gran Canaria
The day started off badly for Derek Gerson and Vasileios Sioulis. Little spoiled by the draw, they were unable to do anything against Momo Gonzalez and Edu Alonso, the 1st seed in this tournament...
On their side, Carla Toully and her partner Alba Perez (TS6) started their day perfectly, winning in two sets during their first meeting, 6 / 1 6 / 3. However, in the second match which was played at the end of the day, the Touly / Perez pair was forced to retire, following the Spaniard's ankle injury.
There are therefore no more French people in this FIP Star…
FIP Rise Frascati
This Friday did not really go better for the French present in Rome. Of the ten French representatives present, only two managed to qualify for the round of 16.
Among the women, the last Blue in the running is Léa Godallier, associated with the Italian Giulia Sussarello. Together, they are the favorites of the tournament (TS1) and will play this morning, in the second rotation of the morning, against Camila Ramme Coellar (123) and Catarina Santos Domingos (103).
Among the men, only one Frenchman is still present in the table. Manuel Vives and his teammate Eneko Arija Ochoa De Alda won their first meeting in straight sets and will play again this Saturday morning, also in the second rotation of the morning. Facing them, two strong opponents: Alvaro Montiel Caruso and Simone Cremona (TS1).
The program :
The Man Vives meeting will be followed on the FIP YouTube channel, around 11 h.
It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
