European Open Talking Points EUROPEAN OPEN: PREVIEW & DAY 1 MEDIA NOTES Monday, October 17, 2016 Lotto Arena, Antwerp, Belgium | October 17-23, 2016 Draw: S-28, D-16 | Prize Money: €566,525 | Surface: Indoor Hard ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing www.ATPWorldTour.com www.EuropeanOpen.be Edward La Cava: [email protected] Twitter: @ATPWorldTour Twitter: @EuroTennisOpen Press Room: +32 485 75 28 66 Facebook: @ATPWorldTour Facebook: @EuropeanTennisOpen EUROPEAN OPEN TALKING POINTS TOURNAMENT PREVIEW: The ATP World Tour returns to Antwerp for the first time since 1998 with the inaugural European Open. Appropriately, 24 of the 28 men in the singles field are from Europe, led by No. 1 seed David Goffin. Belgium’s best player is 10-3 since the US Open with runs to the Metz semi-finals, Tokyo final and ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai quarter-finals. Along the way, Goffin defeated Gael Monfils, Marin Cilic and Juan Martin del Potro. Should he win the title Sunday, Goffin would rise to No. 9 in the Emirates ATP Race to London. However, Goffin has not captured a championship in more than two years. No. 2 seed David Ferrer and No. 5 seed Gilles Simon are suffering similar slumps. Neither former Top 10 player has advanced to a final thus far this season, though Simon beat World No. 3 Stan Wawrinka en route to the semi-finals at Shanghai last week. Ferrer has reached at least one final every year since 2005, while Simon has played for a title each season since 2006. The top-ranked team in the world headlines the European Open doubles draw as Wimbledon champions Pierre- Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut look to build momentum before the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. The Frenchmen lead the tour with five titles this season, but they are only five points ahead of Australian Open and US Open champions Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares in the battle to finish 2016 as the World No. 1s. DAY 1 PREVIEW: No. 8 seed Federico Delbonis, who won the Marrakech title in April, will contest the first singles match in European Open history when he meets Andreas Seppi. Iñigo Cervantes of Spain follows against 36-year-old German qualifier Michael Berrer. Singles play concludes with another All-European match-up between Gstaad finalist Robin Haase and Montpellier finalist Paul-Henri Mathieu.

  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.
