From there, and except injury, we can examine which will be our compatriots who will participate in the Australian Open. Among the men, David Goffin will once again be somewhat alone in the world to represent our colours. Currently 53rd in the world, the Liégeois will be present in Melbourne where, contrary to his good years, he will not be able to benefit from a seeded status. Which could offer him a tenor of the circuit as an opponent from the first round. Zizou Bergs (ATP 131) and Kimmer Coppejans (ATP 202) will have to pass the three qualifying rounds to participate in the main draw. Michael Geerts (ATP 258) seems a little too far.
For girls, the situation will be different since four players will automatically enter the main draw: Elise Mertens (WTA 29), Alison Van Uytvanck (WTA 55), Maryna Zanevska (WTA 82) and Ysaline Bonaventure (WTA 95). Greet Minnen (WTA 203) and Magali Kempen (WTA 224) will have to go through the qualifications.
