One of Luxembourg's most significant annual sporting events, the BGL BNP Paribas Luxembourg Open at the CK Sports Center Kockelscheuer in Luxembourg City is the final International tournament on the WTA calendar leading up to the Garanti Koza WTA Tournament of Champions.
Launched in 1996, the event's champions include notables such as Victoria Azarenka, Jennifer Capriati, Elena Dementieva, Ana Ivanovic, Mary Pierce, Venus Williams, Caroline Wozniacki and Kim Clijsters, whose tournament-record five championships included her very first WTA title as a 16-year-old in 1999. "I really enjoyed my time here," said 2011 winner Azarenka. "It's a great tournament, and I think a lot of tournaments should take Luxembourg into consideration as an example."
