FIP Bronze Ireland, Nati Lopez Diaz goes for her 13th title

After the Kuwait stop at the FIP World Cup Pairs, Nati Lopez Diaz is back on the CUPRA FIP Tour, aiming for her 13th title on the circuit, a milestone already reached by Lucia Garcia at the end of October. She’ll be competing at the FIP Bronze in Limerick, Ireland, where the Tour returns after the FIP Rise held in Dublin in 2021. Nati will team up with Rebeca Lopez, forming the top-seeded women’s pair. On the other side of the draw are Claudia Escacena and Monica Gomez, followed by Lorena Vano and Xènia Clascà (3).

In the men’s draw, Simone Cremona, bronze medalist at the FIP Euro Padel Cup with Italy, leads the seeding alongside Dutch player Sten Richter (also part of the Netherlands’ historic fourth-place finish in Europe). Challenging the top seeds are the Spanish duo Alberto Garcia and Victor Tur, with French pair Nicolas Rouanet and Bastien Blanqué third on the entry list.

The main draw kicks off on Friday, with the second round and quarterfinals on Saturday, and the semifinals and finals on Sunday.
