The first round of the main draw begins this Friday au FIP Silver from Koksijde , on the Belgian coast which will showcase its superb central track in the heart of the city. A particularly dense field, with several players ranked in the world top 100 , headlined by the highly anticipated Deus brothers , but we will also monitor a significant French presence .
Several tricolor pairs expected, including Sichez/Auradou , who (over)dominated the qualifications , but also the return of the pair Muesser/Wagner , former partners on the French circuit and winners of several P1000 , they will make their return but their big debut on the FIP circuit .
Other French people are also present, such as Marie-Amelie Dardaine , the only French woman entered in the Women , or Ludovic Hutzemakers .

Sichez/Auradou, the qualifiers in charge
They launched the French campaign in Belgium perfectly. Sichez and Auradou dominated their two rounds of qualification with real mastery: first a 6 / 3 6 / 0 against the Belgians Vandermarliere/De Muinck , then a 6 / 2 6 / 0 authoritarian towards the British Phillips/Bardo , seeded number 3 in the qualifiers. A convincing entry which places them in a good dynamics before the main draw.
Muesser/Wagner, an expected return
It's their first appearance together at an FIP tournament , but their complicity goes back several years. Yanis Muesser and Simon Wagner have shone in the past on the P1000 in France before separating following the departure of Simon Wagner for the Big Padel Bordeaux .
This week, they reform their pair against the international competition , with a first test against the Spanish Camara Rodriguez and Del Saz Garcia A return to follow closely.
Dardaine, the only French woman in the ladies' category
Marie-Amelie Dardaine ( 187e ) will be the only French representative in the female painting . Aligned with the Spanish Nuria Molina Sanchez ( 228e ), she will face a Belgian pair ranked further down: Rune Vierendeels ( 360e ) and Babette De Decker ( 243e ). A first round that is affordable on paper, but which will need to be negotiated well to hope to move up a level in ranking .
Hutzemakers in the men's draw
Still on the male side, Ludovic Hutzemakers will play alongside the Spaniard Javier Mesa Arenas They will face a pair from the qualifications . A first round open for a pair that has everything to win.
Headliners ready to fight
Beyond the French, the international plateau is particularly dense. The brothers Miguel and Nuno Deus , seeded n ° 1 , arrive with more than 2400 FIP points .
Other experienced pairs are also present, such as Head Teres ( 50th FIP ) associated with Ramiro Moyano ( 97e ), or even the pair Gonzalez ( 79e ) / Buy Boxes ( 87e ), seeded n ° 3 . A great field on the slopes, and little room for the outsiders.
