FIP Ranking Belgium: Top 10 Men and Women

Belgian Padel Players in the FIP World Rankings

The FIP ranking of Belgian padel players reflects their position in the international padel hierarchy. It allows fans to compare the performances of Belgian representatives with players from around the world, from the highest-ranked professionals to competitors taking their first steps on the international circuit.

Both male and female players have individual rankings based on their results in official tournaments. Winning a title, reaching a final or advancing to the quarter-finals can earn valuable FIP points and help improve a player's world ranking position.

The Best Belgian Men and Women in the FIP Rankings

The Belgium FIP ranking tables for men and women feature the ten highest-ranked Belgian players in each category. They display each player's name, world ranking position, total FIP points and changes in their ranking.

The men's and women's world rankings are separate. A player can be the highest-ranked Belgian without appearing in the world's Top 100, as the level of competition and the number of participants differ between the two categories.

Players such as Clément Geens, Nathan Lambrechts and Maxime Deloyer, alongside Elyne Boeykens, Justine Pysson, Helena Wyckaert and An-Sophie Mestach, have represented Belgium in international padel competitions. Their respective world ranking positions can be found in the ranking tables on this page.

Belgian Padel Performances on the International Circuit

Belgium has players competing on the Premier Padel and CUPRA FIP Tour circuits, both across Europe and around the world. These competitions give Belgian players the opportunity to face high-level international opponents and earn ranking points to improve their positions in the FIP world rankings.

Belgian players have also achieved notable results on home soil. At the FIP Silver tournament in Koksijde, Helena Wyckaert and An-Sophie Mestach claimed the women's title after defeating fellow Belgians Elyne Boeykens and Justine Pysson in the semi-finals. This result highlights the competitive standard of Belgian women's padel on the international circuit.

However, being the highest-ranked Belgian player in the world, winning an FIP tournament and becoming Belgian national champion are three different achievements. To assess a player's performance accurately, it is important to consider the tournament category, the opponents faced and the rounds reached.

How Does the FIP Ranking Points System Work?

The FIP points system is used by the International Padel Federation to establish the men's and women's world rankings. It is based on results achieved in international competitions officially recognised by the federation.

Each tournament awards a specific number of points depending on its category and the round reached by the player: first round, round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, final or tournament victory. The results included in the ranking and the calculation rules are defined in the official FIP regulations.

Why Do FIP Points and World Ranking Positions Change?

The world ranking is based on results that remain valid for a defined period. When an older result expires, the corresponding points may be removed from the calculation. Players must therefore continue to achieve strong results to maintain or improve their ranking positions.

A player's progress also depends on the performances of their competitors. Someone can earn additional points without moving up the rankings, or even drop places despite winning a tournament if other players achieve better results.

For detailed information about the calculation method, eligible results and possible exceptions, consult the official FIP ranking points system.

What Is the Difference Between the FIP Ranking and the FIP Race?

The FIP world ranking takes into account results that remain valid under the federation's regulations, while the FIP Race measures performances achieved during the current season.

As a result, the same Belgian player may hold different positions in the two rankings. The overall world ranking reflects their standing in international padel, while the Race provides a clearer picture of their performances during the ongoing season.

FIP Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum: Tournament Categories Explained

The CUPRA FIP Tour features several levels of international competition. The FIP Bronze, FIP Silver, FIP Gold and FIP Platinum categories differ in the number of world ranking points awarded, the competitive level of participating players and the prize money available at each tournament.

• FIP Bronze: the entry-level category of the CUPRA FIP Tour, offering players opportunities to earn their first international ranking points or build on their existing ranking.
• FIP Silver: a higher level of competition that brings together experienced players and competitors aiming to improve their positions in the FIP world rankings.
• FIP Gold: an advanced tournament category offering more ranking points and generally attracting higher-ranked international players.
• FIP Platinum: the highest category within the CUPRA FIP Tour, offering the greatest ranking point rewards and some of the most significant competitive opportunities on this circuit.

The Premier Padel circuit also includes several tournament categories, notably P2, P1 and Major events. These competitions play a major role in professional padel and contribute to the official FIP world rankings.

How Does Tournament Level Affect FIP Ranking Points?

The number of FIP points awarded at a tournament depends on its category and the player's final result. For the same finishing position, a higher-category tournament generally awards more points. Winning an FIP Gold event therefore earns more points than winning an FIP Bronze title, while reaching the final or semi-finals results in different point allocations.

The tournament category alone does not determine the points earned: the round reached is equally important. Players must also consider which results are already included in their ranking calculation.

The exact points distribution is established by the federation and may change. To find out how many points are awarded in each category, consult the official FIP ranking points table.
