The Tournament
The first biggest women's clay court tennis tournament in France , right behind the French Open, " Les Internationaux de Strasbourg "Â will take place at the Tennis Club de Strasbourg from the 15th to the 23st of May 2015.
Created in 1987, the tournament was originally called " The Strasbourg Grand Prix "Â. The very next year, the Alsatian Tennis League took up the reigns and gave it the current name, often shortened to its convenient abbreviation: IS. Every year since then, the tournament has attracted many of the world's top players, poised to prove their worth. Today it is considered one of the most historic events in the WTA line-up.

About Strasbourg
Strasbourg is the capital city of the Alsace region in northeastern France. It's the seat of the European Parliament and sits near the German border, with culture and architecture blending German and French influences. It's known for its Gothic Cathédrale Notre-Dame, featuring daily shows from its astronomical clock and sweeping views of the Rhine River from partway up its 142m spire.
