The morning match not to be missed: Deloyer / Geens vs Deschamps / De Vylder
On paper, the 10:00 AM big match-up featuring Maxime Deloyer and Clément Geens is eye-catching: in the round of 16, there’s no such thing as an “easy round.” Entry into the tournament is often decided by a small detail: a poorly played returning game, two unforced errors against the glass, a run of points lost on second serves… and the opponent gains the upper hand.
For Geens, the interest is twofold: performing in a demanding national stage, while maintaining competitive momentum during a period when his international schedule is also making headlines. As a reminder, we detailed his recent news here: Clément Geens at FIP Platinum Marseille 2026 with Dylan Guichard.
Where to follow the matches and check the schedule (useful link)
To follow the day closely, the easiest way is to go through the “dagplanning” page (daily schedule) published by Tennis & Padel Vlaanderen: you’ll find the times, rounds, and scheduled big match-ups there. It’s also where you can spot any potential delays.
- Daily Schedule – Belgian Padel Tour 2026 at Fit-Out
- Official Circuit Presentation (Lotto Belgian Padel Tour)
An important point is clearly stated: times are indicative and players must confirm their schedule with the competition manager. For spectators, remember this key idea: arrive a little early for the “highlight” slots (10 AM, 11:30 AM, 4 PM), and keep an eye on the updated draw.
Bonus: how the Belgian Padel Tour works (format, seeds, coaching)
The circuit is played in a single elimination bracket. As soon as you pass the first round, managing effort becomes a real issue: a tough match in the morning can leave its mark when playing consecutively later, especially if conditions are fast and “glass-to-glass” rallies lengthen.
The official presentation also specifies that the seeds are designated based on the Padel Belgium teamranking (pair logic) and that coaching is permitted under certain conditions. In other words: it’s not just about individual skill level, it’s also about the duo, their chemistry… and clear-headedness in tight moments.
Regulations: what to remember (without getting lost in the appendices)
The Belgian Padel Tour regulations frame the competition logic: national circuit, stages in Flanders and Wallonia, and ranking points awarded at each tournament (which feed the Padel Belgium ranking). For the curious – or those who want to check a specific point (coaching, organization, registration conditions) – the reference document is available here:
