Turnierdirektorin Sandra Reichel sprach am Dienstag bei einem Pressetermin im Hotel Grand Elysée nicht nur über das Eröffnungsevent des ATP-500er-Turniers. Sie gab auch bekannt, dass EDEKA der Veranstaltung als Ernährungspartner erhalten bleibt. EDEKA wird sich wieder verstärkt am „Kids‘ Day,“ dem Turniermontag (22. Juli), mit Aktionen beteiligen. *Mo.- Fr. 08:00 – 21:00 Uhr, Sa. 08:00 – 20:00 Uhr, So./Feiertag 10:00 – 20:00 Uhr (0,20 Euro/Anruf inkl. MwSt. aus dem dt. Festnetz, max. 0,60 Euro/Anruf inkl.

Die bekannteste Tennismutter der Welt wird am 26. und 27. Juli ein Kids-Camp, einen Workshop für Coaches sowie ein Camp für Eltern und Kinder leiten. „Ich freue mich sehr auf Judy, sie ist für mich eine der weltbesten Trainerinnen, und sie ist eine beeindruckende Persönlichkeit. Wer Judy einmal erlebt hat, ist von ihr begeistert. Sie ist mit einem riesengroßen Engagement bei der Sache und zugleich mit sehr viel Witz“, sagt Turnierdirektorin Sandra Reichel. Die Startplätze für die Workshops werden über die Landesverbände und Sponsoren vergeben. Podcast zu den Hamburg European Open In einer Kooperation mit der Macromedia Hochschule Hamburg ist ein Podcast rund um die Hamburg European Open entstanden. Im Vorfeld des Turniers erzählen Hamburger Prominente aus dem Sportbereich spannende Geschichten rund ums Tennis am Rothenbaum. Aber es geht nicht allein um Tennis – die Gäste weichen im Gespräch mit den Sportjournalismus- Studierenden auch mal vom Thema ab und sprechen über ihre persönlichen Erlebnisse und den Sport in Hamburg. Die Folgen des Podcasts mit dem Titel „Open Field" erscheinen bis zum Turnierstart jeweils immer mittwochs. Bislang sind drei Interviews veröffentlicht – mit Ex-St.- Pauli-Profi Sami Allagui, Hamburg-Towers-Kapitän Achmadschah Zazai und Kris Hünecke von der Band Revolverheld, der einst ein deutsches Toptalent im Tennis war. Erste Wildcard geht an Rudi Molleker Die erste Wildcard für die Hamburg European Open 2019 erhält die deutsche Nachwuchshoffnung Rudi Molleker. Dies hat der Sportdirektor des Deutschen Tennis Bundes (DTB), Klaus Eberhard, bereits bekanntgegeben. Für den 18 Jahre alten Berliner ist Hamburg ein gutes Pflaster: 2017 spielte er sich dort als 16-Jähriger sensationell durch die Qualifikation (unter anderem mit einem Sieg über Leonardo Mayer, der als Lucky Loser anschließend das Turnier gewann). Und 2018 bezwang Molleker in der Hansestadt bravourös den spanischen Routinier David Ferrer in der ersten Runde. Man darf auf seinen Auftritt in diesem Jahr gespannt sein – immerhin qualifizierte sich Molleker 2019 bereits für die Hauptfelder der Australian Open und der French Open. .

Both will aim to use home advantage to have a good run here this year – Monfils will look for a repeat of his 2008 performance when he reached the semifinals, while Pouille will hope to emulate the form he displayed in reaching the last 4 at the Australian Open in January to impress the home fans in Paris. • Monte Carlo champion Fabio Fognini takes on fellow Italian Andreas Seppi in the first match on Court Simonne Mathieu today. It will be the 8th all-Italian meeting at Roland Garros in the Open Era and the 16th all-Italian clash at the Grand Slams in the Open Era.

There was Alex Corretja, the Spanish veteran who needed three sets to fend off a 16-year-old Nadal in 2003.

Then there was Fabio Fognini of Italy, who last year became the first player to beat Nadal in straight sets at the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona 1899. Fognini went 3-2 against Nadal in 2015, joining Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Juan Martin del Potro as the only players to defeat the Spaniard three times during a single season.
