Solano Marmolejo and Pereyra surprise in Siracusa

A surprise victory in the men’s draw at the FIP Bronze in Siracusa: the pair José Solano Marmolejo–Ramiro Pereyra claimed the title by defeating Mario Huete and Italy’s Marco Cassetta in the final (6-3 6-1). In the semi-finals, the tournament winners had beaten the No.1 seeds Marc Sintes and Dani Santigosa in three sets (4-6 6-3 7-5). The latter had already won a CUPRA FIP Tour event in 2026: the FIP Silver in Caen, France. “Great Ramiro, we made a big effort to reach a very good level and manage to beat strong pairs – he said after the victory -.Now we are thinking about the next tournaments”. Pereyra also commented on the triumph: “Champions! We played difficult matches and finished in the best possible way. This was our first tournament together, let’s keep it going. After a period when things didn’t work out, this feels twice as good. Thanks to everyone who supported us”.
