FIP Bronze Marnes II opens this Wednesday, September 2 at Forest Hill in Marnes-la-Coquette. Men’s qualifying starts at 9 a.m. on five courts, before the main draw begins Thursday. The FIP lists both men’s and women’s events, but Wednesday’s published order of play contains only men’s qualifying matches.
Qualifying starts at 9 a.m.
The official order of play schedules five Q1 matches at 9 a.m. Victor Cousin and Pierre-Yves Jousset face Paul Lefevre and Kevin Guguin on Court 13. Loris Morvan and Theo Hemery play Cédric Fagniez and Elliot Brame on Court 14, while Courts 15, 16 and 17 host three more first-round qualifying matches.
The second session will not start before 1:30 p.m. The No. 1 qualifying seeds, Jules Marie / Clément Filho, face Geoffrey Tenenbaum / Axel Leduc on Court 17. Victor Choppe / Jerome Inzerillo, Benjamin Dufour / Raphael Rubio, Natan Etienne / Lucas Potel and Theo Bergamaschi / Rayan Ouabed are also seeded pairs due on court later in the day. The FIP’s official order of play and draw remain the reference if the schedule changes.
The main draw begins Thursday
Julian Prins / Youp De Kroon are the No. 1 seeds in the men’s draw. Frenchman Timéo Fonteny partners Nacho Moragues Moltò as the No. 2 seeds, ahead of Thomas Leygue / Jesús Moya and Johan Bergeron / Julien Seurin. Yoan Boronad / Jérémy Robert are seeded eighth.
The opening round also features an all-French match between Yanis Muesser / Arthur Hugounenq and Romain Sichez / Adrien Maigret. The FIP schedules the first round of the main draw for Thursday, September 3, followed by the round of 16 and quarterfinals on Friday. The semifinals and finals are scheduled for Saturday, September 5.
Marnes hosts its second FIP Bronze of 2026
The tournament is held at Forest Hill Marnes-la-Coquette, 1 bis boulevard de la République, on courts listed as outdoor by the FIP. Total prize money is €8,500. The same venue already hosted a FIP Bronze from May 20 to 23, 2026.
After that first edition, Adrien Westermann, involved in the organization alongside Victor Teboul, wrote on LinkedIn about the priority given to player experience:
Our priority remains clear: to keep improving the athletes’ experience in practical terms, on and off the court.
Qualifying opened this Wednesday and will continue Thursday before the first round of the main draw. The FIP then schedules the round of 16 and quarterfinals on Friday, followed by the semifinals and finals on Saturday, September 5.
