With GNP Mexico Major and Milano P1 on the horizon, 3 000 points remain in play, and anything is still possible. After his victory at FIP Platinium of Mexico, Alex Ruiz intends to consolidate its recent entry into the top 16, While Lucas Bergamini, currently 17th, will have to fight to get back into the qualifying places. The Brazilian has only 52 point late on paul cardona (15th), who will therefore have to go and get as many points as possible alongside Paquito Navarro.

Two other players also remain in contention for qualification to Barcelona:

  • Alex Arroyo, 19th in the ranking, but only 60 point from 16th place.
  • Sanyo Gutiérrez, 18th, who also hopes to secure his ticket to the final tournament.
