Ruiz and Dal Bianco Open FIP Gold San Luis With a 6-0, 6-2 Statement

Alex Ruiz and Franco Dal Bianco opened their FIP Gold San Luis campaign with a 6-0, 6-2 win over Jose Pablo Garza De La Pena and Santiago Castro Recio, a clean start for the men's top seeds in Mexico.

The pair arrived in San Luis as the team to beat. Ruiz already has a FIP Gold title this season, having won in Ponta Delgada earlier in 2026, and he and Dal Bianco carried that form straight into the first round without dropping their rhythm.

What's at stake

San Luis is a FIP Gold stop worth 150 ranking points to the winners. The main draw runs 48 pairs deep, 32 in the men's event and 16 in the women's, and the finals are scheduled for Saturday, August 22.

Seeds to watch

Behind Ruiz and Dal Bianco, Alex Chozas and Juani Rubini are seeded second in the men's draw. On the women's side, Marta Borrero and Julia Polo head the field as top seeds and start among the favorites for the title.
