With the Australian season ending, the Atp World Tour moves to Europe and America.
Three tournaments will take place next week: the Open Sud de France in Montpellier, the Garanti Koza Sofia Open in Bulgaria and the Ecuador Open in Quito.
The first two tournaments will be played on indoor hard, while the third will be played on outdoor red clay. Still, Quito does not show slow conditions at all, as the altitude (almost 3000 metres above sea level) makes them very quick. It is not a case that first seed is the big serving Ivo Karlovic, and it will probably take a huge work to break him.
NEWS: Spain’s Feliciano Lopez and France’s Quentin Halys have received wild cards into the main draw of Montpellier. Ecuadorian veteran Giovanni Lapentti will play the last tournament of his career at home in Quito.
