Santamaria and Santos aim for victory in the circuit’s debut in Senegal
June 4, 2026
The CUPRA FIP Tour reaches Senegal for the first time in its history with the FIP Bronze Dakar. Ainize Santamaria and Clarinha Santos will attempt to become the queens of the African tournament. However, the title will not be easy to win, as strong pairs will challenge them: from Mafalda Fernandez–Alexandra Silva to Charlotte Soubrie–Melissa Martin, as well as Dora Chamli–Anastasiia Ryzhova.
In the men’s draw, Pablo Pastor and Luis Oliver Artigas will aim to come out victorious. To do so, they will need to overcome strong pairs such as Georges Wackim and Sergio Esteban Barroso, and Maher Hackem–Joel Olivera Palos. Also highly prominent are Julien Seurin and Johan Bergeron. Senegal is one of the 17 new countries that, in 2026, will host, or have already hosted, a tournament in the circuit.
