Ticket sales have already begun for an important sporting event in the world of tennis that will take place in Israel. In November, the Tel Aviv Watergen Open tournament, which is part of the ATP 250 series, will be played in Tel Aviv.
Last year, the tournament featured some of the best international tennis players, such as Novak Djokovic and Marin Cilic. It is expected that this year many tennis players within the top 20 of the ATP world ranking will also participate.
In addition, the prize will be one million dollars for the winner. The main sponsor of the tournament is watergen, the company led by Michael Mirilashvili, a philanthropist who is also the president of the tournament.
The tournament will be played at the Expo Tel Aviv venue. The Comtec Group is working on the construction of two new tennis courts for this edition. As crowd participation in the 2022 tournament exceeded expectations, tournament organizers are working to expand the stadium's capacity to 4500 spectators.
In relation to the tournament, the Minister of Culture and Sports, Micky Zohar, expressed the pride that these initiatives represent for the country. “The State of Israel is proud to host the Watergen Tennis Tournament, and we are delighted to welcome the world's tennis elite here. Hosting this tournament is crucial to promoting the sport in Israel, and I thank Dr. Michael Mirilashvili and all our partners, including Sylvan Adams, the Israel Tennis Association and the Comtec Group, for their contributions,” Zohar said.
