FIP Bronze Rivesaltes: men's main draw R16

Recorded on Apr 10, 2026

The FIP Bronze in Rivesaltes enters a decisive phase on Friday: the men's main draw opens with the round of 16. Even the first round brings marquee matchups, with numerous French pairs in the field and international opponents bringing top-level pedigree. Organisers emphasise rotation and clear time windows so fans can follow the schedule and focus on the key courts.

Play begins at 12:00 across all active courts. Through the afternoon, matches are staggered, with additional not-before slots on the main courts, including 15:00, 17:00 and 20:00. This structure aims to limit waiting time while keeping premium encounters on the centre court in attractive windows. For supporters away from the venue, the key point is that all matches are streamed live on Padel Mag TV.

Programme overview and main-draw stakes

After qualifying and preliminary stages, the main draw is when seeding becomes visible and pairings turn concrete. In Rivesaltes, the opening round is no gentle warm-up: the centre court features pairs with national and international match experience. For French teams, the event is also a showcase as they face strong Spanish and wider European opposition at home.

Court allocation across centre court, court 3, court 4 and court 5 follows standard tournament logic: broadcast-friendly courts get higher-profile start times, while side courts handle throughput. For athletes that means short paths between warm-up and court plus clear coordination with officials whenever delays occur.

In the FIP pyramid, bronze events often act as a bridge towards higher categories, so intensity rises early because ranking points and visibility are both on the line. Publishing a PDF schedule alongside live coverage helps media representatives document day-plan changes in a traceable way.

During the day, cross-check line-ups and results against the official PDF as updates land.

Centre court: headline ties from midday

The centre court programme also starts at 12:00. The opening-round list reads like a cross-section of the current circuit: Spanish emerging and professional pairs meet French teams that have already produced surprises in FIP events.

  • Lorenzo Bogarin / Jaime Perez Martin vs Nathan Courrin / Thomas Seux
  • Noe Sanchez Del Viejo / Louie Harris vs Arthur Hugounenq / Maxime Forcin
  • Guillem Figuerola Santiago / Roberto Belmont Pastor vs Izan Ranera Pedrero / Hugo Estebanez Estevez
  • Romain Sichez / Arthaud Dumoulin vs Juan Jose Dominguez / Hugo Lorenzo Serrano
  • Ferran Gonzalez Zamorano / Arnau Candelo Casas vs Thomas Leygue / Alonso Rodriguez Martinez
  • Yoan Boronad / Bastien Blanqué vs Miguel Muñoz Zurita / Manuel Ramirez Perez

A not-before 20:00 slot is also set: Maxime Joris / Jérémy Robert face Andres Graupera / Juan Pablo Dametto. Late slots are typical when earlier matches run long or when tournament control reserves centre court for a high-profile tie.

Court 4 (IXINA): packed rhythm

Court 4 carries IXINA branding and runs parallel to the centre court. Play also begins at 12:00. Notably, Joris/Robert vs Graupera/Dametto appears in this block too, pointing to tight scheduling and possible adjustments if delays occur.

  • Maxime Joris / Jérémy Robert vs Andres Graupera / Juan Pablo Dametto
  • Nil Perez Martinez / Sergio Bursa vs Johan Peloux Marchini / Pierre Perez-Le-Tiec
  • Theo Suzanna / Tristan Piombo vs Clement Pelt / Samuel Pontes
  • Kamel Mouimen / Louis Jover vs Clement Geens / Dylan Guichard
  • Sacha Huard de la Marre / Nathan Perrot vs Yanis Muesser / Philemon Raichman
  • Arnau Carbonell Ortells / Saul Duran Heras vs Benjamin Tison / Adrien Maigret

Court 3 (CUPRA) and court 5 (PROSOL)

Court 3 with CUPRA branding also starts at 12:00 and offers compact but high-quality ties:

  • Pau Mendoza / Simon Pirovani vs Manuel Aragon Herrera / Nacho Moragues Moltò
  • Alvaro Lopez Luque / Filippo Nicocia vs Joel Olivera Palos / Antonio Varo Ramos

On court 5 (PROSOL), at least two matches open Friday from 12:00:

  • Giorgio Saputo / Julien Biron vs Adria Costa Lechon / Pedro Gonzalez Martin
  • Albin Olsson / Oscar Sebber Gormsen vs Lucas Pillon / Olivier Guy de Chamisso

Order of play and live coverage

Alongside the online article, the event references an order-of-play document for Friday, 10 April 2026, available as a PDF. Such documents are standard in the professional game because they bundle start times, officiating notes and possible changes. For media and fans, the PDF is a second reference alongside the live stream.

Practical notes for the first main-draw day

In the round of 16, progression matters alongside match rhythm and workload management ahead of the weekend. Anyone following Friday should track official main-court times and treat not-before markers as flexible indicators. The PDF order of play and the Padel Mag TV stream remain the most reliable sources for the running order.
