The FIP Platinum Lyon has reached its climax, setting the stage for two highly anticipated finals that feature both top-seeded favorites and rising stars. The tournament has delivered intense three-set battles in the men's draw and dominant performances in the women's bracket, culminating in a final day of play broadcast live via the FIP YouTube channel.
The Path to the Finals
The men’s final promises a clash of titans, featuring the top two seeds, while the women’s final showcases a battle between the third and sixth-seeded pairings. Here is how the finalists secured their spots:
- Franco Stupaczuk and Jon Sanz: As the number 1 seeds, this duo overcame a difficult start against Juanlu Esbri and Inigo Jofre. After dropping the opening set, they rallied to secure a 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 victory. They are currently seeking their second title as a team, following their previous success at the FIP Gold Belgrade.
- Fran Guerrero and Javi Leal: The number 2 seeds earned their place in the final by defeating Momo Gonzalez and Lucas Campagnolo in a grueling three-set match that ended 7-5, 2-6, 6-4. This marks their fourth final of 2026, and they are aiming to secure their second FIP Platinum title of the year after their February victory in Marseille.
- Bea Caldera and Carmen Goenaga: The number 3 seeds dominated their semi-final match against Alix Collombon and Ksenia Sharifova with a convincing 6-2, 6-3 win. This appearance marks their first joint final since the Bordeaux Premier Padel P2 in July 2025. Notably, Caldera is a returning champion in Lyon, having won the 2024 FIP Gold title here with a different partner.
- Martina Fassio and Agueda Perez: The number 6 seeds punched their ticket to the final by dispatching Lucia Sainz and Leti Manquillo with a decisive 6-3, 6-1 scoreline. Having already faced Caldera and Goenaga in two previous finals this year—where they emerged victorious in both the FIP Silver Gran Canaria and FIP Gold Ponta Delgada—they are now looking to secure their first title as a pair.
The women’s final is scheduled to open the day's proceedings at 14:30 CEST, followed by the men’s final, which will begin no earlier than 16:30 CEST. Fans can follow all the action through the official FIP YouTube channel, which is providing live coverage of the event.
