Launched in 1996, the event's champions include notables such as Victoria Azarenka, Jennifer Capriati, Elena Dementieva, Ana Ivanovic, Mary Pierce, Venus Williams, Caroline Wozniacki and Kim Clijsters, whose tournament-record five championships included her very first WTA title as a 16-year-old in 1999.
"I really enjoyed my time here," said 2011 winner Azarenka. "It's a great tournament, and I think a lot of tournaments should take Luxembourg into consideration as an example."
Petra Kvitova and Caroline Wozniacki are among the stars who will contest the Luxembourg Open.
