Estoril Open
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Estoril Open is an ATP and WTA clay court tournament held in Jamor, Oeiras, Portugal (in spite of nominally located in Estoril). The men's tournament was created in 1990 and since its inception, every champion except 2004 champion Juan Ignacio Chela has been in the Top 10 of the ATP rankings, including former world number one's Thomas Muster (1995 and 1996), Carlos Moya (2000) and Juan Carlos Ferrero (2001). It currentely gives 40 Champion's Race points to its winner. The women's tournament, created in 1998, started as an ITF tournament, but in the next year became a WTA tournament. The women's tournament, is less prestigious than the men's tournament, being a Tier IV.
Statistically, this tournament highlights the dominance of Argentine and Spanish male players on red clay. An Argentine has made the final at Estoril each of the past five years (2002-2006); an Argentine won four of these five titles. Between 1990 and 2001, at least one Spaniard appeared in the final ten times, with a player from Spain claiming the title in nine of those twelve years.
On the women's side, in 2006 Estoril showcased the first all-Chinese final in tour history (between Jie Zheng and Na Li).
