  • 7.–13. 6. Tenisové Kurty Slovana Bratislava Dotácia: 66 640 €
    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.

  • Juniors Begin Down Under
    The News Bulletin of the International Tennis Federation www.itftennis.com Juniors begin Down Under The first junior Grand Slam of 2012, the Australian Open Junior Championships, got under way on Sunday in Melbourne, Australia. Top seed in the girls’ event is Irina Khromacheva (RUS), whose best result in the Grand Slams last year was a runner-up finish at Wimbledon. She will be looking to go one better in Melbourne but will come up against some strong competition. Eugenie Bouchard (CAN), the second seed, was a semifinalist at the tournament 12 months ago. She had many strong showings on the 2011 Luke Saville (AUS) circuit, with perhaps her best performance winning the Copa Gerdau, a Grade 23 January 2012 Issue 4 (Photo: Susan Mullane) A event in March. Third seed in the tournament is Anett Kontaveit (EST). Winner of the prestigious Orange Bowl just last November, Kontaveit will be confident of mounting a strong challenge for the title. Top seed in the boys’ event is Luke Saville (AUS), last year’s runner-up. He will be looking for his second junior Grand Slam after claiming his maiden title at Wimbledon last summer. He has started the year strongly with a run through to the final of the Loy Yang Traralgon International this week, narrowly losing out to Filip Peliwo (CAN) in the Championship decider. Thiago Monteiro (BRA) is seeded second for the event and will be looking to improve on his first round elimination in 2011. His best showing on the circuit last year included winning the title at the Copa Gerdau.
