The list of competitors for the European Open (13-20 October 2024) looks impressive. With also Félix Auger-Aliassime, the tournament in Antwerp will not only have a former top-ten player, but also the winner of two years ago. ‘His win in 2022 remains a highlight in the history of our tournament, and we look forward to see him shine again in a packed Lotto Arena,’ said tournament director Dick Norman.
Stéfanos Tsitsipás, Zizou Bergs and now Félix Auger-Aliassime. With the Canadian top player, not only the list of favourites for winning is growing, but the European Open promises to be another world-class tournament. The Canadian, once ranked No. 6 in the world, is regarded as one of the greatest tennis talents on the circuit. His fourth-place finish at the Paris Olympics, where he narrowly missed out on the bronze against Italian Lorenzo Musetti, underlines his potential.
That Félix Auger-Aliassime can thrill the Lotto Arena, he already proved two years ago. In an exciting final, and with a powerful serve as a weapon, the 24-year-old Canadian was able to beat American Sebastian Korda in two sets. His enthusiasm and amazing strokes not only allowed him to take home the trophy, but also conquered the hearts of the spectators.
On the ATP tour, Auger-Aliassime made his debut at the age of 18 and has since played several ATP finals, with victories in Rotterdam, Basel and thus Antwerp, among others. In addition, his semi-final in the 2021 US Open also stands out, an achievement that underlines how much talent this athlete possesses.
Beauty. Astonishment. Admiration. The European Open (13-20 October 2024) promises to be a tournament that will excite your senses. Unforgettable moments. Excitement. A mix of established names and emerging talent. With Stéfanos Tsitsipàs, Zizou Bergs and Félix Auger-Aliassime, among others, you can enjoy tennis of the highest quality. Of world-class tennis. Of a roaring Lotto Arena. Feel the cheers. Feel the tension. Feel the enthusiasm of Belgium’s biggest tennis tournament.
