The FIP Rise Mol in Belgium officially started for the French in the main draw partly in the rain.

Adrien Magret / Jérôme Inzerillo played a pair from Macedonia: Catalin Tropin / Alexandr Dubrovin. Express victory for the French pair (6/0 6/1.) who will play in the 2nd rotation from 10 a.m.

Thomas Vanbauce / Dorian de Meyer is the 8th seed in this Belgian tournament. Local Wild Card pair Philip Dolfyn / Bram Kevelaerts couldn't do much. French victory 6/3 6/2.

The shock of this first round was the confrontation between the Franco-Spanish pair, Thomas Leygue / Ferran Insa Sotillo, seeded 2 in the table, with the French pair Philémon Raichman / Ludovic Cancel. Victory in 2 sets of Leygue / Insa: 6/3 6/2. We knew it, for the 100% French pair, it was a very bad draw. The fault especially of Ludovic Cancel who has very few points and who did not allow them to take advantage of a more lenient lap. But we know, it will take a little time for the Frenchman and a few bad draws to evolve and avoid first rounds of this type in the future.

On track 1, we will follow the Leygue / Insa match, then Vanbauce / De Meyer from 10 a.m.

The other news is the withdrawal of the seeded 1 of the tournament, the Spanish pair, Alavaro Montiel / Marcos Cordoba. Consequence: Adrien Maigret / Jérôme Inzerillo sees a picture open up to the final. But be careful, for the 7th seed, François Azzola / Jerome Peeters and the Dutch pair, Bram Meijer / Sten Richters (ts5), it is also an opportunity.

Continuation of the tournament, Saturday morning.
