From 0 Challengers to... 2 Challengers! Beside the Guimarães Challenger, Portugal will have another one, this time in Lisbon, CIF, where was played the Davis Cup tie this weekend. Another Challenger of 42,500 of prize money. Really good news for our tennis.
Slovenia gets a 35k Challenger in Portoroz, played on hard court in the second week of Wimbledon. Kavcic will definitely play as the tournaments main sponsor is also Blaz's personal sponsor. Basically, The Kavcic Open:lol:
Yep, yet another reason the ATP should work harder to promote life for lower-ranked players rather than continue the divergence between the absolute top and the rest.
