ATP & WTA Extend Suspension Of Tours

Spoiler:

Professional tennis season now suspended through to 7 June 2020

Joint statement by ATP & WTA: After careful consideration, and due to the continuing outbreak of COVID-19, all ATP and WTA tournaments in the Spring clay-court swing will not be held as scheduled. This includes the combined ATP/WTA tournaments in Madrid and Rome, along with the WTA events in Strasbourg and Rabat and ATP events in Munich, Estoril, Geneva and Lyon.

The professional tennis season is now suspended through 7 June 2020, including the ATP Challenger Tour and ITF World Tennis Tour. At this time, tournaments taking place from 8 June 2020 onwards are still planning to go ahead as per the published schedule.

In parallel, the FedEx ATP Rankings and WTA Rankings will be frozen throughout this period and until further notice.

The challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic to professional tennis demand greater collaboration than ever from everyone in the tennis community in order for the sport to move forward collectively in the best interest of players, tournaments and fans.

We are assessing all options related to preserving and maximising the tennis calendar based on various return dates for the Tours, which remains an unknown at this time. We are committed to working through these matters with our player and tournament members, and the other governing bodies, in the weeks and months ahead.

Now is not a time to act unilaterally, but in unison. All decisions related to the impact of the coronavirus require appropriate consultation and review with the stakeholders in the game, a view that is shared by ATP, WTA, ITF, AELTC, Tennis Australia, and USTA.

Tournament Heritage: Munich

Learn more about the BMW Open by FWU, a German ATP 250
Cristian Garin is the reigning champion at the BMW Open by FWU in Munich, where plenty of superstars have left their mark.

The tournament would have been held this week if not for the Tour suspension due to coronavirus. Learn more about the ATP 250, from the former World No. 1s who have triumphed in Munich to the home favourites thrilling the German fans.


1) The Event Dates Back To 1900
The International Tennis Championships of Bavaria was first held in 1900, but the BMW Open by FWU was first staged at Munich’s Iphitos Tennis Club in 1974. Germans have won the singles trophy nine times since then.

The BMW Open by FWU is the first of four German tournaments on the season's ATP Tour calendar, contested in Bavaria’s picturesque capital city of Munich. Centre Court seats 3,800, making for an intimate atmosphere to watch some of the best players in the world.


2) Three World No. 1s Have Lifted The Trophy
Three players who reached No. 1 in the FedEx ATP Rankings have lifted the Munich title. The first to do so was Ivan Lendl. He played this tournament twice — towards the end of his career — but he made the most of his visits to Munich. Lendl won the title in 1993, defeating International Tennis Hall of Famer Michael Stich in the championship. That year, Stich won six ATP Tour crowns, the most in a season during his career.

Roger Federer only competed in Munich once, in 2003, but he made it count, lifting the trophy without losing more than four games in a set. Andy Murray emerged victorious at the ATP 250 in 2015, claiming his first tour-level clay-court title.


3) Kohlschreiber’s Magic In Munich
No player has won more matches or titles in Munich than German veteran Philipp Kohlschreiber. Now 36, Kohlschreiber holds a 35-12 record in Munich, earning just short of $500,000 at this event. Seven of his victories at his home tournament have come against Top 20 opponents.

Kohlschreiber holds the record for most Munich singles titles with three, including his first ATP Tour trophy in 2007. He also has made three additional finals, losing to Tommy Haas (2013), Murray (2015) and Alexander Zverev (2018).


4) Zverev’s Home Breakthrough
Alexander Zverev won his first match in Munich in 2015, just after his 18th birthday, and it has been a successful tournament for him since.

The German star made the semi-finals in Munich at the ages of 19 and 20, before finally breaking through for his maiden triumph on home soil in 2017. Zverev battled through a third-set tie-break against countryman Jan-Lennard Struff in the quarter-finals and he did not look back, beating Roberto Bautista Agut and Guido Pella to clinch the title.

“I lost the final in Halle last year (to Florian Mayer), which was very painful. I really wanted to win a tournament in Germany, which I've done now and I'm very happy about it,” Zverev said at the time. “[It is] my first title on clay as well. It's a great feeling right now.”

Zverev followed that up by winning his second consecutive Munich title in 2018, defeating Kohlschreiber 6-3, 6-3 in the championship match to lift the trophy.


5) Haas’ Breakthrough
The 10th try was the charm for former World No. 2 Tommy Haas in Munich.

Haas first competed in the event in 1998, but it took him until 2013 to lift the trophy. The German reached the final in Munich in 2000, just after turning 22, defeating then-World No. 9 Thomas Enqvist in the semi-finals. But he wouldn’t reach the final for another 13 years.

In what would end up being the penultimate championship run of his career, Haas beat Ernests Gulbis, Florian Mayer, Ivan Dodig and Kohlschreiber to triumph in front of his home fans. Munich was the third German city where Haas emerged victorious, adding to titles in Stuttgart (2001) and Halle (2009, 2012). He tallied a 21-11 record in Munich.

The Millennium Estoril Open is held at the Club de Tennis do Estoril in Cascais.

Learn more about the Millennium Estoril Open, an ATP 250 event

The Millennium Estoril Open is the only ATP Tour event held in Portugal.

The tournament would have been held this week if not for the Tour suspension due to coronavirus. ATPTour.com looks at five things to know about the ATP 250-level tournament that started in 2015.

Venue Favoured By The Social Elite
The Millennium Estoril Open, created by Benno van Veggel and football agent Jorge Mendes five years ago, is held at the Club de Tennis do Estoril in Cascais, a popular beach resort favoured by the elite. The sixth film of the James Bond series, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, was shot in Estoril and popularised the town, which is 25 kilometres from Lisbon. In 2019, 42,000 spectators visited the tournament, while there were 1,000 hours of television worldwide, valued at €250 million in global sponsorship value.

Gasquet Wins Inaugural Edition
Richard Gasquet, a long-time visitor to Portugal, captured the inaugural title in 2015 with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Nick Kyrgios in 65 minutes. The Frenchman had come through a third-set tie-break against Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in the semi-finals. Treat Huey and Scott Lipsky beat Marc Lopez and David Marrero 6-1, 6-4 for the doubles title.

Gasquet

Charitable Efforts For The Underprivileged
The Millennium Estoril Open has partnered up with Academia Dos Champs, which teaches tennis as an innovative tool to instil strong, positive guidelines in underprivileged children and young adults. The academy, based across 10 centres, promotes the benefits of sport and how it transcends social classes, backgrounds and life circumstances. Having held more than 10,000 tennis lessons since 2009, it received a €15,000 ATP ACES for Charity grant in 2018 to conduct 1,100 lessons in the Cascais municipality.

Tsitsipas Returns To Triumph
Having lost to eventual champion Joao Sousa in a third-set tie-break in the 2018 semi-finals, Stefanos Tsitsipas returned last year to go one round further. Beating David Goffin in a thrilling semi-final, Tsitsipas held his nerve to overcome Pablo Cuevas 6-3, 7-6(4) for the first ATP Tour clay-court title of his career. “You really have to fight hard and give your soul out on the court,” said Tsitsipas. “This title means a lot to me. It's on clay, it's one of my preferred surfaces. It's nice to have completed the clay-hard court title [sweep] that I've been fighting for.” The Greek had previously won two indoors titles at the 2018 Stockholm Open (d. Gulbis) and in February 2019 at the Open 13 Provence (d. Kukushkin).

Rich ATP Tour History
Prior to the Milliennium Estoril Open beginning in 2015, the country hosted the Portugal Open at the Estadio Nacional from 1990 to 2014, when the event was cancelled due to a lack of sponsorship. Eighth different Spaniards won the ATP 250-level tournament in the 25 editions, while the likes of Novak Djokovic (2007), Roger Federer (2008), Juan Martin del Potro (2011-12) and Stan Wawrinka (2013) were among the list of former champions. Portuguese Fred Gil lost to Albert Montanes in the 2010 final.

Federer's Ruthless Run To 2003 Munich Glory: 'I Never Had A Chance'

Spoiler:

Relive the Swiss' lone Munich run
Roger Federer has competed in Munich just once on the ATP Tour, in 2003. The Swiss certainly made his visit count.

Only 21 at the time, Federer arrived in Germany for his first clay-court action of the season. In 2002, the Swiss showed he was capable of doing well on the surface, winning the Hamburg title. But Federer lost in the first round at 2002 Roland Garros, and clay was not his favourite surface.

That didn’t show in Munich, though. Federer won the title without dropping a set, clinching his third of seven tour-level titles in 2003.

"Clay is not my favourite surface and I'm surprised to be playing so well after just a few weeks of training," Federer said after defeating Jarkko Nieminen 6-1, 6-4 in the final, according to Reuters.

Federer's Road To The 2003 Munich Title

Round Opponent Score
R32 Zeljko Krajan 6-4, 6-3
R16 Raemon Sluiter 6-4, 6-3
QF Mikhail Youzhny 6-2, 6-3
SF Stefan Koubek 6-2, 6-1
F Jarkko Nieminen 6-1, 6-4
Federer only lost serve twice from the quarter-finals on, and both those service games came against Nieminen. But his return game made that moot, as the rising star won more than 54 per cent of his return points against his Finnish opponent.

"Congratulations to Roger, he was by far the best player the whole week. It was tough. I had to play so well every point just to have a chance,” Nieminen said. “Today, I never had a chance.”

Tennis At Home | How ATP Players Make The Most Of Stay At Home

Throughout the tournament, Federer’s return was his biggest weapon. In his five straight-sets victories, the champion won a combined 49 per cent of his return points.

Federer’s Munich run set the stage for a strong effort the next week at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome, where he made the final. In the semi-finals there, Federer beat Juan Carlos Ferrero, who would win Roland Garros that year.

Even though Federer suffered another early exit in Paris, he’d enjoy a breakthrough season, winning his first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon and the Tennis Masters Cup.

Tsitsipas On 2019 Estoril Title: 'This Means A Lot To Me'

Spoiler:

Relive the Greek's first clay-court ATP Tour title
Entering the 2019 Millennium Estoril Open, Stefanos Tsitsipas had lost five of his previous nine matches. The Greek was trying to find his footing on the Portuguese clay. He had already cracked the Top 10 of the FedEx ATP Rankings, but the rising star was trying to push even higher.

Little did the Greek know that he would do more than find his footing — he’d set a path towards the best season of his young career.

Tsitsipas only dropped one set en route to his first clay-court ATP Tour title, defeating Uruguayan magician Pablo Cuevas 6-3, 7-6(4) in the final.

“You really have to fight hard and give your soul out on the court. This title means a lot to me. It's on clay, it's one of my preferred surfaces,” Tsitsipas said. “It's nice to have completed the clay-hard court title [sweep] that I've been fighting for. Next is grass, or maybe even more clay-court titles this year, that would be wonderful.”

Tsitsipas revealed after the match that Cuevas was one of the players he looked up to. The trick-shot master had put on a show all week in Estoril, but he had few answers for the Greek.

Tsitsipas looked to be cruising to the title, up a break and serving at 4-3 in the second. But the 2018 Next Gen ATP Finals champion lost his way and was broken for the first time in the match during a stretch of nine consecutive points won by Cuevas. Tsitsipas saved a set point at 4-5, Ad-Out, however, and the two traded breaks until the tie-break, where the Greek regained his level.

“I was very calm. I stayed aggressive, stayed motivated, didn't think too much,” Tsitsipas said. “He didn't get into my head after he broke me back in the second set. That was kind of frustrating, but I kept fighting, kept believing that I can still win it in two sets.”

Tennis At Home | How ATP Players Make The Most Of Stay At Home

The triumph gave Tsitsipas plenty of momentum, which he harnessed masterfully with runs to the final of the Mutua Madrid Open and the semi-finals of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia. Before 2019, Tsitsipas had won one total main draw match in Madrid and Rome.

“I've been building my game. It hasn't been an easy transition from hard to clay this year,” Tsitsipas said. “I've been trying to play as many matches as I can before the big events start.”

That paid dividends. Although Tsitsipas’ 2019 season might be remembered for his charge to the title at the Nitto ATP Finals, he also proved that he is a force to be reckoned with on clay. A lot of the confidence that allowed him to make those big ATP Masters 1000 runs could be credited to his run in Estoril.

Resurfaced: Murray Captures First Clay Crown In Munich

Spoiler:

The British No. 1 prevailed in the 2015 final after more than three hours.

Editor's Note: ATPTour.com is resurfacing features to bring fans closer to their favourite players during the current suspension in tournament play. This story was originally published on 4 May 2015.

Andy Murray captured his first clay-court ATP Tour title at the 2015 BMW Open by FWU.

Then the World No. 3, he won a rain-interrupted Munich final, carried over from Sunday to Monday due to rain, with a 7-6(4), 5-7, 7-6(4) victory over Philipp Kohlschreiber in three hours and four minutes. The German has since won a record third title at the event.

Murray, who at the time improved to 32-16 in tour-level finals, received €80,000 in prize money and earned 250 FedEx ATP Ranking points. He became the first British player to win a clay-court singles title since Buster Mottram at 1976 Palma.

"It means a lot to have won," said Murray. "It was my first final on the clay, having lost a few semi-finals at Roland Garros, Rome and Monte-Carlo. We played a very high standard match. I just managed to hang on at the end.

"He served unbelievably well. I had very few chances when I was returning. We may even play one another in Madrid, in a few days’ time [this week]. Philipp is a superb competitor and fought right to the end. It is nice to have won my first clay title and I hope to win another one soon."

Tennis At Home | How ATP Players Make The Most Of Stay At Home

Murray's clay breakthrough proved to just be the start of an impressive stretch on the surface for him. The following week, he won the Mutua Madrid Open with the loss of only one set. Murray claimed his first ATP Masters 1000 title with a run that included victories against Kohlschreiber, Milos Raonic, Kei Nishikori and Rafael Nadal.

The momentum he carried into Madrid could be attributed to the confidence he earned in a tense Munich final against Kohlschreiber.

There were no break points for Murray or Kohlschreiber in the 58-minute opener, which resumed with top-seeded Brit serving at 2-3. Overall, Murray won 24 of his 28 first service points, while fifth seed Kohlschreiber won 21 of 23 in the first set.

In the second set, Murray saved two break points in a 16-point third game. Murray and Kohlschreiber then exchanged service breaks, prior to Kohlschreiber bouncing back from 0/40 at 3-4.

My Point: Get The Players' Point Of View

Kohlschreiber broke Murray to 15 for a 6-5 lead, as the match edged closer to the two-hour mark. One hour later, in a tense tie-break, the duo remained locked until Murray won four straight points from 2/3. Murray hit 17 aces to Kohlschreiber's 11 during their fourth ATP Head2Head meeting. He moved to 5-0 lifetime in ATP Tour finals that have deciding-set tie-breaks.

"It was a great atmosphere and a great crowd," Kohlschreiber told ATPTour.com. "We both gave everything. It was so close, but at the end there has to be one winner. Unfortunately, for me, it was Andy. It was a fantastic game.

"It was a very special moment for me, in front of a home crowd... I think I pushed Andy to the limit. We had some unbelievable points. I think, for the spectators who came, it was one of the best Munich finals.

"Munich is always very special. It is my best tournament on the tour. I love playing here and on the clay. I don’t want to watch the match tomorrow, but I enjoy playing clay-court tournaments. This gives me a lot of confidence for the future."
