It took waiting for the right moment to see a French pair finally achieve their goal.  Maxime Joris / Manuel Vives  win the  Singapore FIP Bronze At the end of a perfectly controlled tournament, the French pair, seeded 7th, seized an opportunity in a favorable draw without ever faltering.

Finally,  Joris / Vives  dominate the top 4 seed  Tur / Reca  in two solid sets:  6 / 4 6 / 4 A clear victory, reflecting their week, concluded without dropping a single set. The French players strung together clean, often fast-paced performances, demonstrating real control in key moments, as exemplified by a well-managed tie-break during the tournament.

Admittedly, the field wasn't the strongest in the history of the  FIP Tour But one still had to show up. And on that point,  Joris / Vives  They left no room for doubt. This success rewards a positive momentum and allows the French pair to take a step forward.

For  Maxime Joris , it's about the  first victory on the FIP Tour , after three lost finals, including the last one at  Dubai FIP Gold  In March, alongside Figuerola. A long-awaited turning point for the Frenchman.

On the side of  Manuel Vives This title has a special flavor. He was only competing for his  third tournament of the season  on the FIP circuit, after physical setbacks. Back to his best, he confirms it in style. This is his  first victory under the new FIP Tour format , but already from his  sixth title overall  on this circuit. To find traces of his recent successes, one must go back to  2024 .

A busy week for the French, who are clearly (re)launching the machine.
