ATP points, prize money and the B&B Hotels Tennis Trophy for the champion

“The city of Meerbusch can be proud to host such a top-class international field,” said a delighted organizer Marc Raffel. “Among the favorites for the title, I see former world No. 62 Kenny de Schepper (FRA) and the 19-year-old Romanian rising star Nicholas David Ionel, currently ranked No. 350 in the ATP world rankings. “However, the level of competition is very high, so practically anything is possible,” Raffel added. The winner will receive prize money and 10 ATP world ranking points – out of a total of 40 – as well as the new B&B Hotels Tennis Trophy, presented by Martin Kastner (MK Consulting & Hotelmanagement GmbH), on the final day, May 8th.

A catering service is available for guests and spectators throughout the tournament week; tickets are available at the box office.
