the Deus brothers for a double

Wild cards Leandro Augsburger (Argentina) and Pablo Castillo Valverde (Spain) lead the entry list of the FIP RISE in Ceuta, Spain. Twenty-six pairs will start in the men’s draw, with the top six seeds (Japan’s Shungo Kusakabe and Spain’s Asier Gago Martinez, number 7, taking the place of Van Beek/Chacon) entering on court directly in the round of 16. Also starting as the number 4 seed are the Portuguese brothers Nuno and Miguel Deus, who will try to repeat the title they won last weekend in Houten.

Also playing in Ceuta (at the Club de Tenis y Padel Loma Margarita) is a women’s draw with 13 pairs taking part: leading the list of seeded players are Spain’s Aitana Garcia Roman and Portugal’s Catarina Santos Domingos.
