The FIP Bronze Paraguay IV tournament is set to showcase a dominant Argentine presence in the men’s draw, while the women’s competition features a highly decorated international field. With the main draw running from October 9 to October 11, the event highlights the rising stars currently shaping the landscape of the CUPRA FIP Tour.

- Francisco Maier and Maximo Jesus Maldonado: Entering as the No. 1 seeds, this pair is a major threat. Maldonado has already secured two CUPRA FIP Tour titles in 2026, specifically at the FIP Bronze in Iquique, Chile, and the FIP Silver in Joinville, Brazil.

- Thiago Pinto and Joaquin De Astoreca: Another Argentine duo highlighted by organizers as a team to keep an eye on during the tournament.
The women’s draw features a strong international contingent led by top seeds Camila Ramme of Mexico and Julia Giusti Gomez of Brazil. Ramme enters the event in excellent form, having captured six titles on the circuit this year and reaching the final of the FIP Gold event in her home country of San Luis, Mexico, in late August. Other notable pairs to watch in the women’s field include:
- Sofia Luini and Maria Belen Mosca: A pair expected to be competitive in the Asunción draw.
