Joining the Qataris in Doha will be an impressive list of Dutch teams, headed by 2013 world champions and 2016 Olympic bronze medallists Alexander Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen. The pair were runners-up in Rosarito and are currently fifth in the World Ranking – they are seeded second in Doha. Also representing Dutch beach volleyball, the world’s number six, Stefan Boermans and Yorick de Groot are seeded fourth. Christiaan Varenhorst and Steven van de Velde, who missed the first two stops on the Beach Pro Tour and made their debut at the Itapema Challenge in Brazil last week, are ninth on the entry list for Doha. Another two Dutch pairs, including Leon Luini and Ruben Penninga, who made a sensational run to the podium at Itapema, will start their Doha campaign in the qualifiers.
