Lucas Serme has made fine progress on the World Rankings in recent years and is the brother of 2015 British Open winner Camille Serme.
The Frenchman claimed his maiden PSA World Tour title at the Imet Open in 2010 but would have to wait three years for his next one where he took the Open du Gard crown on home-soil.
Further triumphs came at the Swiss Open and Rochester ProAm later that year before he lifted his fifth title at the Australian Open with a superb defeat of Kristian Frost Olesen in the showpiece event in March 2014.
The Rotterdam Open followed five months later and he reached the top 50 in the world for the first time in November 2014.
He came excruciatingly close to winning a title on two occasions during the first half of 2015 but could only manage back-to-back runner-up finishes at the Open de Paris and Irish Open.
Serme secured a place in the world’s top 40 for the first time in August of that year.
In 2016, Serme made amends for his defeat to Ali Farag in the Irish Open final 12 months prior when he collected his seventh PSA World Tour title and the biggest of his career so far as he prevailed over England’s Declan James in a testing four game encounter.
