Alizée Cornet and Diane Parry asked for invitations, but they will compete with the well -classified players who will be eliminated early from the Masters 1000 in Rome the week before. We will follow that carefully.

New: a real village for players and a food-cut for the public

In addition to the very dense table, Strasbourg internationals also intend to pass a course outside the court. This involves improving infrastructure to welcome players. This year, they will finally be able to enjoy a quality “village of players”thanks to the renovations that took place as part of the Strasbourg Tennis Club on the locker room, the restaurant and the training shorts.

For spectators/rices, The tournament will have for the first time an entire food short, with six different addresses to enjoy various Salé proposals. We will find there the Greek cuisine of Yamas, the sandwiches from Victor, Thai cuisine of Ti Hai, the flambé pies of Alsace Flam and the vegan kebabs of Planted.

Finally, crossed will take care of sweet. Small bonus: no need to be a spectator/rice of the tournament to eat at Food Court; Just withdraw a free ticket, “without access to the courts”, at the reception of the tournament. Enough to enjoy.
