Gabriela and Stefani Stoeva have one goal this week: To win Belgian International.

On paper the Bulgarian sisters are the strongest European women’s doubles, and this week in Léuven they have to prove that they are the ones to beat.

The Stoevas are seeded number one in the tournament and have a bye in the first round meaning that the defending European champions will walk on court late Thursday night for their first match of the tournament.

Need matches
After a two months break the Bulgarians made their comeback at the World Championships in Basel, and this week they are ready to deliver good results.

- Our goal is to win the tournament, Stefani Stoeva said.

- Our coach chose that we should play this tournament, and it is good. We get more matches before our Asia tour, which start next week. We did not get a lot of matches before the World Championships, so we lost a bit of timing, so now we hope to get a lot of good matches here, Gabriela Stoeva added.
