    7.–13. 6. tenisové kurty Slovana Bratislava Dotácia: 66 640 € Udržať sériu ATP je vždy výzva Hlavný organizátor bratislavského turnaja Branislav Stankovič udržal kontinuitu podujatia aj v čase pandémie. A to aj napriek rok trvajúcim obmedzeniam. Vlani sa turnaj Bratislava Open uskutočnil mimo challengerovej série ATP iba s domácou konkurenciou, tohto roku sa vracia tradičný medzinárodný formát. Kooperativa Bratislava Open sa uskutoční 7. – 13. júna 2021 na dvorcoch Slovana opäť ako súčasť série challengerov ATP. Bude to už 18. ročník podujatia pod taktovkou Stankoviča, ktorému pomáhajú Miloslav Mečíř a Marián Vajda, generační druhovia a priatelia z profesionálnych tenisových rokov. „Udržať turnaj v sérii ATP je vždy veľká výzva. Vlani sa nedalo cestovať pre koronavírus, ale vďaka partnerom sme usporiadali turnaj pre našich najlepších tenistov a po prvý raz aj pre ženy. Teraz sme v neistote čakali aká bude epidemická situácia. Vo februári padlo rozhodnutie, že sa challenger Kooperativa Bratislava Open uskutoční,“ popisuje kľúčový čas pre definitívu Branislav Stankovič. Pôvodne sa v Bratislave malo hrať v termíne po Roland Garros. Pravda, štart grandslamového turnaja posunuli pre zlú epidemickú situáciu vo Francúzsku o týždeň. Uskutoční sa od 30. mája do 13. júna 2021. Znamená to, že bratislavský challenger sa hrá paralelne s druhým týždňom v Paríži. „Challengerové turnaje namiesto 4 týždňov nahustili do 3 týždňov. Náš nový termín od 7. júna výdatne pomohol vylobovať Marián Vajda. Z hľadiska antukárov je to veľmi dobrý termín,“ poznamenáva Stankovič. Pavúk kvalifikácie bude 16-členný a hlavného turnaja 32-členný (naposledy v roku 2019 bol 48-členný). Turnajová dotácia sa nezmenila (tohto roku 66 640 €), hospitality sa rozšírilo aj na kvalifikáciu.

Cuevas arrived in Nottingham with two grass-court wins in his career. The World No. 25 has added four more, beating Stephane Robert before toughing out three-setters against Daniel Evans, No. 9 seed Marcos Baghdatis and No. 8 seed Gilles Muller.
