Courmayeur Ladies Open WTA250

After almost 30 years, Italy - a nation traditionally linked to tennis on clay - returns to host an event on the women’s indoor hard court circuit. Good news in the golden year of Italian tennis, which culminated with Matteo Berrettini in the final at Wimbledon.

It will be the last of the tournaments on the international calendar to give away points valid for the 2021 WTA Finals, which will be played the following week. A circumstance that could attract tennis players ready to give their best. The top athletes of the main draw are expected in Courmayeur from 25 October.

It will start on 23 and 24 October with the singles qualifiers, in which 24 players will participate, 6 of which will become part of the final draw with a total of 32 tennis players and 16 pairs.

The indoor women’s tournament, with a prize pool of 250,000 dollars, will take place at the Courmayeur Forum Sport Center starting in the morning and will continue until the evening on the three existing fields and on a fourth added field within the multipurpose hall.

Curiosity: it will also be played at Skyway Monte Bianco, on the terrace of Punta Helbronner at 3,466 m, setting a new record that will improve the previous one of Roger Federer and Lindsey Vonn by 12 meters.

Tickets are on sale on Ticketone, with the possibility of purchasing packages with overnight stays and the tournament will be broadcast on TV in 160 countries.
