Viña del Mar, Chiostri chasing another title

Back-to-back wins in July (at the FIP Bronze in Porto Alegre and the FIP Silver in Veracruz) set Fede Chiostri up perfectly for his return to action at the FIP Bronze Chile VII in Viña del Mar, the seventh event of 2025 in the South American country. The Argentine tops the 32-pair men’s draw alongside fellow countryman Manuel Gayone. The top seeds will make their debut in Friday’s Day 1 closing match against Spain’s Carlos Fernández and Chile’s Pablo Vacarezza. Also competing on the courts of Club del Bosque are Gastón Lazzarini and Pablo Molina (2), with Molina already a champion in Chile after winning in Concepción at the end of 2024.

Among the local players, first on the entry list is Cristóbal Martínez, who reached the semifinals here in Viña del Mar at the July Bronze. Martínez will team up with Argentine Britos (3), another player who has already tasted victory in Chile, at the Bronze in Concepción last April. After Friday’s opening round, the tournament continues Saturday with round two and the quarterfinals, before Sunday’s semifinals and the final.
