The FIP Bronze Netherlands takes place in Houten from March 30 to April 5, with a prize money of 12,000 euros, indoor conditions and a particularly dense qualifying draw. Qualifying rounds kick off on Tuesday March 31 at 10am, while the men’s main draw gets underway on Friday April 3 at 9:30am. For Belgium, the Dutch leg of the event has two main aims: to follow Clément Geens, the country’s best representative in the final draw, and to see if several Belgian pairs can find their way into the four qualifying spots.
Clément Geens arrives in Houten with a solid foundation
The Belgian name to watch remains Clément Geens. He was ranked 90th in the FIP rankings in mid-March, and this week will be lining up with Dylan Guichard, his Franco-Belgian partner. The duo are no strangers to Houten: in early March, Geens and Guichard won another FIP Bronze tournament held in the same town. This precedent changes the reading of the event. Geens arrives not only with a good status on paper, but with a real recent reference on site, in an indoor padel context that he has already controlled well.
For the Belgian camp, the interest is clear: to see if this momentum can be contractually extended in a new Dutch event, in a week in which the semifinals and final are scheduled for Sunday. In a main draw that doesn’t start until Friday, Geens will also have a few days to observe the qualifying rounds, while a number of compatriots will be looking to earn their place. In this format, the slightest good series can quickly turn a well-started tournament into a real weekend race.
Six Belgian pairs on the qualifying schedule on Tuesday
The Belgian contingent is most visible in the first qualifying round. The schedule for Tuesday March 31 features six Belgian pairs. At 10 a.m., M. Torres-Jacobs and B. Coene open their day on court 11 against A. Ben Jemia and J. Pulido Alegre, while G. Stas and M. De Roose take on C. De Sanctis and P. Balcaitis on court 10. From 12.30 pm, E. Verraghen and D. Lenno challenge T. Nunes and D. Veldhuis on court 11, while M. Guerin and E. Waterschoot are announced not before 12.30pm on court 9 against L. Witkowski and E. Lennox Drathen.
The rest of the schedule remains just as Belgian: M. Van Bulck and E. Swaans on court 7 against T. Piombo and A. Dumoulin, followed by A. Vanopbroeke and T. De Vylder round off their presence with a match on Center Court against D. M. Fornieles and W. O. Flores not before 3.30pm. In a long and demanding qualifying format, this density doesn’t guarantee anything, but it does show that Belgium doesn’t come to Houten with just one leader. Around Geens, it is putting several pairs into the battle, with the hope of extending its presence beyond the main draw alone.
