Damac Dubai, Rubio-Lijo and Talavan-Sharifova lead the draw in an event with many top 100 players

The CUPRA FIP Tour returns to the United Arab Emirates. This weekend, the FIP Silver Damac Dubai will take place, featuring both men’s and women’s draws.

Leading the men’s draw will be the Spanish pair of Gonzalo Rubio and Pablo Lijó. The two, ranked 41st and 47th in the FIP ranking, are looking for their first international success of 2025 after winning the FIP Rise Alcalá De Guadaira last year. In the other part of the draw, we find the pair formed by Miguel and Nuno Deus, ranked 55th and 62nd, who come from the final at the FIP Gold in Paredes and good performances at the Riyadh P1, where they were eliminated in the round of 16 by the pair Chingotto-Galan in front of Cristiano Ronaldo, their compatriot and big fan.

The women’s draw is led by the pair Talavan-Sharifova, ranked 41st and 23rd in the FIP ranking, who are in the opposite part of the draw from Leti Manquillo and Patricia Martínez, winners of the FIP Bronze in Egypt and the FIP Bronze Sportclub in Houten in the last two months.

The tournament will be played in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) from Thursday, April 10 to Sunday, April 13, and will award 80 points for the FIP ranking.
