Reap Samui, Melero-Zurita and Santos-Ribeiro the pairs to beat in Thailand

Melero-Zurita in the men’s draw, Santos-Ribeiro in the women’s: these are the number one seeds at the FIP Bronze Samui, with the CUPRA FIP Tour returning to Thailand after the FIP Bronze Phuket in June.

The women’s seeding is led by the Portuguese pair, coming from the semifinals at the FIP Silver Lisbon last week. On the other side of the draw, against the world numbers 94 and 116, is the pair Nika Sluzhiteleva (world number 163 and winner of the FIP Bronze Phuket in Thailand) and Lucia Fernandez (86).

In the men’s draw, behind the Italian-Spanish duo Melero-Zurita, is the pair Daniel Blanco (399) and Cristobal Garcia (298).
