If the best players in the world are either on vacation or already preparing for the second half of the season, others have no time to waste and must do everything to try to score points.

This explains why the FIP Star Gran Canaria will be so high, with high quality pairs for both men and women.

On the men's side, the seeds 1 and 2 are called Del Castillo / Lijo and Marcos / Garcia, and we find dangerous players everywhere like Arnau Ayats, Jairo Bautista, Daniel Windahl...

On the women's side, the seeds 1 and 2 are also very good pairs, since we are entitled to the return of the Lobo / Saiz duo, as well as a solid pair made up of Ana Catarina Nogueira and Bea Caldera. Here again, several experienced players fill the list of registered players, starting with Marta Talavan, but also Sandra Bellver, Sara Ruiz Soto...

As you can imagine, the French have made the trip to the Canary Islands, and there will be 12 of them (6 for boys, 6 for girls).

In gentlemen, Thomas Leygue and Spaniard Ferran Insa form pair 11, just ahead Max Moreau and another Spaniard, Joachim Florensa. Julien Seurin and Manu Vives (pair 16) also start in the main draw, as does Philemon Raichman and Ludovic Cancel (pair 23).

In the ladies, Melissa Martin and Portugal's Bruna Melo go straight into the main draw, as does Elodie Invernon et Wendy Barsotti. There will also be three tricolors in qualifying: Carla Toully and the Spaniard Lucia Rosa, as well as the pair Dardaine/Buteau.
