Strasbourg 2017

[Hoergren]

One of two international clay tournaments before French Open.

Created in 1987, the tournament was originally called " The Strasbourg Grand Prix ". The 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.

In 2016, the tournament welcomed more than 25 000 spectators from France, Switzerland and Germany. The relocation of the tournament from Hautepierre to the Tennis Club of Strasbourg (in front of the European Parliament) was a decisive factor of its success.

Here is the draw

I thought Meldopova got a WC into this. Did she reject it as any way she cannot play in RG and therefore it is waste of time to play on clay this year.

As far as I know there has never been any thing about Sharapova in the Strasbourg tournament.

Final round in the quallies

Good opportunity for Caro here, @Hoergren - time to claim the silver.

Of the qualies, I'd like to see Ash Barty get in.

As far as I know there has never been any thing about Sharapova in the Strasbourg tournament.

Yes, I got it confirmed. FFT allowed Strasbourg to give Meldopova a WC. They had contacted her and she had declined. But, they did not officially offer her a WC after getting the answer through feelers.

So there is an Australian winner in both single and double - when did that happen - if ever?

 

[britbox]

^ Not sure if it has... They were reeling off some stats on the radio about the numbers of Aussies reaching this stage of the tournament a day or two ago.

Nice win for Sam Stosur... it's been a while.
