With the main sponsor listened by the prosecutors and the minor sponsor unable to provide more money, the tournament is most likely to be cancelled.

The municipal powers still hope it can be somehow saved. Well, fingers crossed.

Re: Might get cancelled.

One less corrupt tournament is always a good thing, I just fear they might let Poland host another tournament. That would be a huge mistake.

Re: Might get cancelled.

You would need to cancel ATP together with WTA as organizations themselves, if you are so eager to fight with corruption.

Re: Might get cancelled.

last information from Sopot: president of Sopot give 1/3 money to start this tournament. Orange maybe give 1/3.... In this moment they search a news sponsor who give absent money.

I hope this tournament is starting))

Re: Might get cancelled.

some fresh news

according to http://sport.wp.pl/kat,1840,tytul,A...omosc.html?rfbawp=1203017036.803&ticaid=155c5
Sopot will be 'transported' to Warsaw. So we'll have ATP tournament in Poland in Warsaw, not in Sopot probably. Good that Poland will have ATP, but such a shame that it probably won't take place in Sopot

Re: Warsaw Orange Open

100% sure Kubik?
I've read in "Przegląd Sportowy" (1-2 March) that it's not sure yet, and they don't know whether it will be in Sopot or Warsaw...

Re: Warsaw Orange Open

Re: Warsaw Orange Open

according to http://www.pzt.pl/images/pzt/kalendarz/lato08/kal2008lato.xls tournament will be played in Warsaw

 

[kataanna]

I hope it's only for this year's tournament. Actually, I'm quite happy with it, since I still have to work in June and with the tournament in Warsaw I'll be able to see some matches at the weekends and probably Friday quarterfinals
Taking into consideration the difficulties with the organization of that tournament, I really don't care where it will be held in the future as long as it's during the holiday months and in Poland... (Nonetheless, Sopot would be my first choice.)

 

[takuma]

the official site is working: http://www.orangewarsawopen.pl/en/, quite dull - but maybe it'll change with time...

 

[dijus]

tickets will be even cheaper than in Sopot
