The CUPRA FIP Tour is heading to Ayia Napa for the FIP Bronze Cyprus III tournament, where a competitive field of international talent is gathering to compete for the title. The event, which concludes on November 1, features a high-stakes draw in both the men’s and women’s categories.
Tournament Favorites and Key Contenders
In the men’s division, the spotlight is on the top-seeded duo of Argentina’s Juampi Dametto and Spain’s Roberto Belmont. Both players bring significant experience to the court; Dametto has secured two FIP Bronze titles and one FIP Silver title, while Belmont enters the competition with five career titles on the circuit. The competition remains fierce, with several other notable pairs looking to challenge for the top spot:
- Alejandro Garcia Calahorro and Iago Fuertes: Positioned in the same half of the draw as the top seeds, this pair represents a significant hurdle for Dametto and Belmont.
- Ferran Insa and Marcel Font: Competing from the opposite side of the bracket, this Spanish duo is among the primary contenders for the championship.
- Alvaro Lopez and Hector Vazquez: Also located in the bottom half of the draw, this Spanish pair rounds out the key threats in the men’s field.
The women’s draw is equally packed with talent, led by the top-seeded team of Jimena Diaz and Alba Vazquez. Having already tasted victory together this season at the FIP Bronze tournament in Singapore, they enter Cyprus as the pair to beat. However, the path to the title is far from guaranteed, as they face stiff competition from several other formidable teams:
- Maria Garin and Constanca Gorito: Highlighted as a particularly competitive pair in the entry list, they are expected to be major players in the tournament.
- Vega Cano and Laura Buteau: This duo is looking to leverage their skills to make a deep run and challenge for the trophy.
- Camille Sireix and Julie Razafindranaly: The all-French pair is entering the tournament with the clear ambition of contending for the title.
Fans can look forward to the climax of the event on Sunday, November 1, when the tournament concludes with the highly anticipated semi-finals and finals matches.
