History

What do Ashleig Barty, Viktoria Azarenka, Kei Nishikori, Juan Martin Del Potro, Stanislas Wawrinka and David Goffin have in common (besides the fact that they are all tennis players)?
Well, they all participated in the Young Champions Cup in Hasselt.

The "Young Champions Cup" is the biggest and most prestigious international tennis tournament in Belgium for young players between 12 and 14 years and is part of the "Young Stars World Series", a serie of five consecutive top tournaments, taking place in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium.

The "Young Champions Cup", organized by the Royal Excelsior Tennisclub in Hasselt, and supported by “Tennis Vlaanderen” (Flemish Tennis Association), will now have her 17th edition (started in 1999).

The tournament in Hasselt not only scores well on the sports field. By the players and coaches, it is also praised for the excellent organization and the good atmosphere that always prevails, year after year. We include, as the only tournament in Belgium, to a select party of tournaments  of Category 1, the highest possible ranking that a tournament can achieve. We are in the select group of,  amongst others,  Tarbes, Paris, Stockholm, Moscow and Munich,..

The best players from the five continents have fought in recent years in Hasselt  to earn the necessary points needed to push through to the top of the world rankings.

The fact that we have already had winners from France, Romania, Italy, Great Britain, Russia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China and Japan proves once more the international character of the Young Champions Cup.

From August 3 till August 8, the areas of the  tennis clubs in Hasselt will again be "the place to be" for tennis loving Belgium, as players from over 45 different countries than  will struggle and try to win the  trophy.

The fact that more and more international federations place  the Hasselt tournament on the calendar of their youthful top players  proves that the Young Champions Cup has become a permanent fixture in the international youth tennis circuit.
