Medina Murphy-Garcia target a third consecutive triumph: after Tashkent and Espoo, the aim is the Kochi title

KOCHI – Following two outstanding weeks in which they claimed back-to-back titles at the FIP Bronze tournaments in Tashkent (Uzbekistan) and Espoo (Finland), Alberto Garcia and Christian Medina Murphy are targeting another victory. The pair are the top seeds at the FIP Bronze High Velocity Kochi in India. Medina Murphy has won six titles on the CUPRA FIP Tour during his career, one more than his partner Garcia. Their main challengers at the Indian event are Borja Trujillo Chang-Kevin Uriel Kviatkovski (2). Trujillo Chang has a particularly strong record in India, having won the FIP Bronze tournament in Mumbai in January. Also among the leading contenders are Leonid Poliakov-Jaime Perez Martin (3) and Amir Mohamad Jamshidi-Sergio Esteban Barroso (4). A total of 12 Indian players are entered in the tournament, with four all-Indian pairs in the draw.

The main draw of the FIP Bronze High Velocity Kochi will begin on Thursday 12 November and conclude on Sunday 15 November, when the semi-finals and finals will be played.
