THE FIRST FIP GOLD OF THE SEASON IN DUBAI: SANCHEZ, THE GUINNES MAN, IS ON THE COURT
The padel circus moves to Dubai. From tomorrow to Sunday, the United Arab Emirates will host the first FIP Gold of the season, which will see on court three of the top 50 players in the world ranking.
The number 1 seeded pair is composed by Raul Marcos Duran (number 38) and José David Sanchez Serrano (number 47).
«Joseda» Sanchez, ten years ago, made padel enter into the Guinness World Records: in Murcia, he was one of the players of the longest match in the history, which started at 4 p.m. and ended at 4 p.m in the following day, organized to make history.
The top nine and a half seeds of the draw come from Spain, with the only exception represented by the French Benjamin Tison, great protagonist of the Cupra FIP Finals played last December in Turin.
The main draw will consist of 32 pairs, of which 26 admitted by ranking, with two wild cards and four teams that will come from the qualifying draw which will close on Wednesday, the same day in which the first matches of the main draw are scheduled.
