Tournament Director´s Speech

Dear Tennis Fans,

after one year we meet again at the biggest women tournament in Slovakia. This year TC EMPIRE Trnava cooperates with Slovak Tennis Association, and the name of the tournament is EMPIRE Slovak Open 2013, which is international women slovak championship. This year, prize money were raised to 75,000 dollars. The top seeded player is Jana Cepelova (85th place in WTA ranking), who is a member of Slovak national team in Fed Cup.  It is my pleasure to welcome all of the fans to this event which is the pinnacle of the competitive season for tennis players in Slovakia. 

The ITF Tournament festival on the courts of TC Empire has increasingly gained the attention of a high number of spectators, sponsors and media during last fourth years.I believe that the fifth year of the tournament will add new success to the history of this international event.

I wish all tournament participants a great tennis experience in the city of Trnava.

Mgr. Mária Jedličková
