WTA Tour tennis tournament
Tennis tournament
The Luxembourg Open , last sponsored by BGL, was a women's tennis tournament held in Kockelscheuer , Luxembourg. Held since 1991, the tournament was an exhibition event (winners including Novotná , Navratilova and Appelmans ) until 1995. After that, it became a WTA Tier III tournament, which it remained until 2004. In 2005, it was promoted to Tier II , marking the first such event to be held in Luxembourg. In 2008, the tournament was relegated to a Tier III event, before it became an International Series tournament in 2009.[ 1] [ 2]
Kim Clijsters of Belgium holds the record of most singles wins: 5 (1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005). No other player has won more than twice.
