The Belgium Open has to face  a walk-over  (forfeit) for its final which was to be held at the Caserne Fonck, this Sunday at 16 p.m.

Indeed, injured in the calf, the French player Adrien Maigret was forced to withdraw from the final.

Consequently, the Portuguese-Spanish pair Miguel Oliveira / Cayetano Rocafort Lores, no set conceded during the tournament, won the first edition of this Belgium Open, 3e APT calendar round Padel Tour, the first in Europe.

However , the organizers have decided to maintain an exhibition  at the time of the final. This will pit the winners of the day against one of the best Belgian pairs competing in Liège, that formed by Nick Braet and Jeremy Gala.

Visible via streaming from the APT site or via PSTN (local television).

Before this meeting, the trophy ceremony will be held.

 Statement by Samuel Hertay, organizer in Liège:

"A forfeit, whatever it may be, is always a nightmare for an athlete and an organizer. We wish Adrien Maigret a speedy recovery and congratulate the Oliveira/Rocafort Lores pair for their victory and professionalism. Thanks also to Nick Braet and Jeremy Gala for their support. The first Belgium Open in Liège, maintained in the midst of a health crisis, went through quite a few turmoil for its first edition, but it went all the way! Richer with an enormous experience now that is already pushing us, with desire, towards the next edition. I would even say, as a joke, that we are even ready to organize a padel Master in Liège, with the hoped-for return of the public!"
