will take place from December 11 to 14 at the Zénith de Caen for the last time since next year it will move to the Palais des Sports. At the time of turning the page of the Zénith, the organizers of the Open de Tennis de Caen wanted to mark the event by providing a provided tray.
Four years ago, they had been able to bring in the Russian Daniil Medvedev just before his ascent which would take him to the 1st rank in the world. This time, they are bringing in a player currently in the running for qualification for the Masters, this prestigious tournament which brings together the eight best in the world. It is Felix Auger-Aliassime. Winner of the Florence Tournament last week, the Montrealer already has 6 titles to his credit at 22 years old. He had reached the semi-finals of the US Open last year.
