It was in the premises of SN Diffusion, in Aussonne, that ATM tennis padel welcomed its partners, Thursday April 25, for the presentation evening of the 30th Montauban international tennis open.
An anniversary edition, scheduled from June 17 to 23, which will be dedicated to Philippe Chaumerliac, announced president Michel Orliac. Emotion gripped the audience when the smiling face of the president of the departmental tennis committee, who died suddenly on March 22, appeared on the screen. “The best tribute we can still pay him is to applaud him,” said the president of the ATM.
“It is Philippe who should have been there this evening to represent the committee,” declared Frédéric Bernardin, member of the steering committee. And to recall the strong links between the ATM and the departmental tennis committee which has its offices in Ramier.

This partners’ evening, in the presence of Bernard Pécou, departmental councilor and Daniel Bory, sports assistant for the town of Montauban, also offered us moments of shared joy, when the double formed by Gaspard Brachet and Livio Michelin received the cup doubles winners in the 8-10 year old Elite division, Pyrenees phase. Gaspard and Livio will play the Occitanie final on June 22 in Balma.
June 22 will be the day of the semi-finals of the 30th international open. Endowed with 25,000 dollars, this tournament which is part of the ITF circuit serves as a springboard for the talents of tomorrow: the best example, recalled by Michel Orliac, being that of Ugo Umbert, the current 14th in the world, who had trained on the Ramier courts.
Who will be the surprise guest?
For this anniversary edition, the ATM has decided to organize a single partner evening, to avoid competition from the Montauban en stages festival and the Euro football… but an evening which will be a landmark, Tuesday June 18, and promises its lot of surprises. The location, content of the evening and the identity of the guest of honor will not be revealed until the last moment. Enough to whet the curiosity of partners. On the profile of the guest of honor, Michel Orliac still gave a clue: “Last year, we welcomed the president of the FFT Gilles Moretton who honored our tournament with his presence. The objective is to do even better for this 30th open.”
