After meeting on Friday, the organizing team decided to cancel the 2020 edition and formalized the news in the wake. “It was not cheerful,” sighs Philippe Bardot, tournament director. “We received fairly explicit emails from the Federation. At the moment, there is the Sarreguemines tournament and the club president (Nicolas Schwartz)explained in the press that the club was on the verge of breaking up in terms of organization… It was becoming hyper-complicated. We couldn’t make our 30-35 volunteers, spectators and players take risks … It is still sport and even if we were going to have a great draw, because a lot of tournaments were canceled lately, I think that ‘ we made the right decision “
Winner last year , Harold Mayot will therefore not put his title in play in two weeks on the Villarois courts. Appointment is made for the 2021 edition from November 7 to 14, 2021.
