DATE: May 15 - May 21, 2016
SURFACE: Clay
PRIZE MONEY: €499,645
FIELD SIZE: 28
DEFENDING CHAMPION: Thomaz Bellucci
Seeds:
1. S. Wawrinka
2. D. Ferrer
3. M. Cilic
4. J. Isner
5. P. Kohlschreiber
6. F. Delbonis
7. S. Johnson
8. S. Querrey
The Tournament:
The Banque Eric Sturdza Geneva Open joins Gstaad and Basel on the ATP World Tour calendar, as the first of three Swiss tournament stops. The ATP World Tour 250 tournament, which returned to the Swiss city in 2015 for the first time since 1991, is staged at the Tennis Club de Genève at the Parc des Eaux-Vives, the oldest and largest tennis club in Switzerland.
The Players:
Wawrinka is the top seed, but he hasn't made much of his clay season, so far. Also, David Ferrer, a perennial on clay, is struggling and coming off injury. Kohlschreiber could be the Dark Horse here.
About Geneva:
Known both as the «smallest of big cities», or the «city of peace», Geneva, among other things, is home to the European headquarters of UNO. The quayside of Lake Geneva, the parks, the old alleyways and smart boutiques are an invitation to a leisurely stroll.
Geneva is linked to Europe's capital cities by its international airport, motorways and railway network. It is the seat of a number of major multinationals, as well as the International Red Cross Committee.
Today, Switzerland's second largest city is home to around twenty international organisations. The permanent missions of over 160 States represent their governments in the city's international conferences and organisations.
Geneva is a centre focused on the international economy. Whether private corporate or business, finance, in its widest sense, undeniably plays a major economic role in Geneva, which is a base for around a hundred foreign banks.
