FIP Promotion Chiba, the French to conquer Japan?

There are three French players among the top two seeded pairs at the FIP Promotion in Chiba (Japan). Leading the entry list are Manuel Vives (number 162 in the rankings) and Julien Seurin (182), two players who started 2024 by winning two CUPRA FIP Tour tournaments in a row played in Australian, the FIP Rise Australian Open and the FIP Promotion Melbourne Open. They were followed as the number two seed by another French, Philemon Raichman, paired with Iranian Arya Roghani. Completing the seeded podium are Dutchmen Bart Van Opstal and Menno Nolten, then Italy’s Andrea Bettineschi and Spain’s Hector Vazquez Lopez as number 4 seed. But there are lots of Japanese players at the start of the tournament, ready to impress in front of the home crowd of the Padel and Futsal Hare Nochi Hare.
