Challenge-Brochure-2017.Pdf Messages Mot du député de Roberval, responsable de la région du Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean et premier ministre du Québec L’automne ramène dans notre belle région le Challenger Banque Nationale de Saguenay. D’entrée de jeu, je souhaite la bienvenue et la meilleure des chances à toutes les athlètes du Québec et du Canada, ainsi qu’à toutes celles qui viennent de différents pays prendre part à ces tournois du circuit professionnel. Pendant ces quelques jours de compétition, en plus de se dépasser et d’offrir au public un spectacle enlevant sur le terrain, les joueuses se donnent l’occasion d’accumuler des points et d’améliorer leur classement mondial. Ainsi, grâce à Tennis Canada et à la Banque Nationale, des étoiles montantes du tennis se révèlent, et des carrières internationales se dessinent. Merci de soutenir les athlètes et de contribuer au développement et au rayonnement du tennis. Bon tournoi à toutes et à tous. Philippe Couillard Député de Roberval, responsable de la région du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean Premier ministre du Québec Mot du maire de Saguenay Saguenay est toujours fière de recevoir des compétitions sportives élites donnant l’occasion de voir à l’oeuvre des talents de niveau international comme c’est le cas avec le Challenger Banque Nationale. Encore cette année, au nom de tous les membres du conseil municipal, il me fait plaisir de vous transmettre ce message de bienvenue et de saluer toutes les athlètes, accompagnateurs ainsi que les partenaires associés de près ou de loin à cet événement prestigieux. Grâce à de nombreuses anciennes joueuses qui y ont participé et qui évoluent maintenant sur la scène internationale, notre Challenger bénéficie d’une notoriété toujours croissante. De même, je constate que le calibre de jeu grimpe d’un cran à chaque année, aidant ainsi cette activité à renforcer la réputation que Saguenay continue de se forger comme lieu de compétitions sportives prestigieuses. Pour conclure, je dois transmettre les félicitations d’usage aux organisateurs du Challenger ainsi qu’au personnel et aux administrateurs du Club de tennis intérieur Saguenay. Je souhaite souligner les efforts que toutes ces personnes déploient afin d’assurer aux joueuses élites de tennis un encadrement de qualité exceptionnelle.

Eugène Lapierre Sylvie St-Pierre Vice-président du tennis professionnel au Québec Vice-présidente régionale Saguenay/Lac-St-Jean/Côte-Nord Tennis Canada Banque Nationale Mot du président du Club de tennis intérieur Saguenay Année après année, l’organisation du Challenger Banque Nationale de Saguenay arrive toujours à nous surprendre. En effet, en raison du travail constant d’une armée de bénévoles passionnés, notre tournoi de tennis attire des joueuses de haut niveau dont plusieurs sont devenues des vedettes du tennis mondial. La popularité du tennis est indéniable au Québec. On l’a vu cet été lors de la Coupe Rogers de Montréal présentée par Banque Nationale, mais aussi lors des Challengers Banque Nationale de Drummondville, de Gatineau et de Granby. Et on le verra aussi lors du Challenger de Saguenay. Nos espoirs, les Aliassime, Abanda, Andreescu, Eugénie et Shapovalov ont tous participé à l’un ou l’autre de ces Challengers. Soyons fiers d’avoir contribué à leur développement. Mon plus grand souhait pour cette douzième édition serait de remplir les gradins durant toute la semaine du tournoi.

    COUPE ROGERS: 11 AUGUST MEDIA NOTES (DAY 7) IGA Stadium | Montreal, Canada | 5-11 August 2019 Draw: S-56, D-32 | Prize Money: $5,701,945 | Surface: Outdoor Hard ATP Tour Tournament Media ATPTour.com CoupeRogers.com Maria Garcia-Planas: [email protected] (ATP PR) Twitter: @ATP_Tour @CoupeRogers Valerie Tetreault: [email protected] (Press Officer) Facebook: @ATPTour @CoupeRogers TV & Radio: TennisTV.com NADAL, MEDVEDEV FACE OFF FOR FIRST TIME IN MONTREAL FINAL • Two Top 10 players will square off for the very first time on one of the biggest stages in tennis, as No. 1 seed and defending champion Rafael Nadal meets No. 8 seed Daniil Medvedev in Sunday’s Coupe Rogers final. Nadal is the all-time leader with 34 ATP Masters 1000 titles, one more than Novak Djokovic’s 33, and will try to pick up his 35th trophy at this level at an event he has already won four times (2005, 2008, 2013, and 2018). He has also reached a record-breaking 51st ATP Masters 1000 final this week, moving one ahead of Roger Federer’s 50. Nadal did not have to play a semi-final match, as Gael Monfils withdrew from their Saturday night clash after suffering injury during the Frenchman’s lengthy Saturday afternoon quarter-final win over Roberto Bautista Agut. • To extend his lead in the all-time ATP Masters 1000 title standings, Nadal will have to overcome Medvedev, a player who will be contesting his first-ever ATP Masters 1000 final. However, despite that disparity in experience at this level, Medvedev has proven to be a formidable competitor on hardcourts.
