History
[edit]The creation of anATP Challenger Tourevent in theProvenceregion had been envisioned for several years by several tennis tournaments organisers, as well as former World No. 4,Marseille-bornSébastien Grosjean,before the project came to life during 2008 and 2009 when theSaint-Rémy-de-Provenceorganisers, sponsored by Grosjean, met with theAssociation of Tennis Professionals(ATP) to discuss the introduction of such an event in the calendar.[1][2]
The €42,500 tournament was set in the time slot of the second week of theUS Openin September, to allow players eliminated in the qualifications or in the early rounds to compete in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. As a follow-up to the US Open, the event uses the sametennis balls,and outdoorhard courtssimilar to the ones of the AmericanGrand Slam.[2]For the 2009 inaugural edition, the line up, attracted with the help of Grosjean, included Top 100 playersBjörn PhauandAdrian Mannarinoor formerWimbledonsemifinalistsMarcos BaghdatisandXavier Malisse,who both reached the singles final, in which Baghdatis eventually won his second title on the2009 ATP Challenger Tour.[2]
