  • 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.

    Audi Vorsprung durch Technik Audi encourage les enfants défavorisés à faire du sport en tant que partenaire du MW Fund Le « MW Fund » rend le sport plus accessible aux enfants défavorisés 14 avril 2016 – Bruxelles/Anvers. Aujourd'hui, lors d'une conférence de presse, Press Info Press Marlène de Wouters a présenté le MW Fund, un nouveau projet visant à faciliter l'accès au sport aux enfants défavorisés. Outre Audi, le partenaire principal, de nombreux sportifs belges soutiennent ce projet en tant qu'ambassadeurs. Une première action est prévue le 18 avril. Les Belges pourront alors enchérir pour gagner un dîner avec l'un de leurs célèbres compatriotes dans le cadre de « Dine with a Star », une initiative de Tanguy Nève désormais intégrée au MW Fund. En Belgique, quelque 420 000 mineurs vivent sous le seuil de pauvreté. En raison du prix Audi des cotisations et des équipements, ces enfants font rarement partie d'un club sportif. Le MW Fund souhaite changer cette situation en leur donnant accès gratuitement au sport. En collaboration avec Audi, qui a un lien fort avec le sport en tant que sponsor, notamment du RSC Anderlecht et de l'équipe belge de hocKey, plusieurs évènements seront organisés cette année afin de récolter les fonds nécessaires. Marlène de Wouters : « Le sport et l'activité physique en général constituent un levier important pour renforcer la résistance de ces enfants aussi, les maintenir en bonne santé et, en fin de compte, améliorer leurs perspectives d'avenir. Le sport est en effet une école de la vie. Il contribue à une meilleure santé physique, mais aussi mentale.
