去年年底的讯息了，摘录重点如下：
1. Valencia去年降级为ATP 250之后就传出财务状况不佳可能
无法支撑赛事所需的金额，去年底确定比赛权出售，卖给了比
利时的Antwerp站。
2. Antwerp站在上个世纪末也曾经举办过ATP等级的比赛，1982
到1991是表演赛性质，1992-1998（1995停办一年）则是ATP
Tour赛事，总奖金为美金一百万，在当时算是仅次于大师赛层
级的比赛。
3. 1998年最后一届比赛的冠军是英国选手Greg Rusedski。

Antwerp Returns To The ATP World Tour In 2016
ANTWERP, December 12, 2015
It is the end of a very long wait. With the tournament
in Antwerp, taking place from 17 to 23 October, Belgium
returns to the calendar of the ATP World Tour in 2016.
Antwerp’s last edition of the European Community
Championships took place in 1998 with Greg Rusedski
winning the final against Marc Rosset in four sets.
This special indoors exhibition tournament was first
held in 1982 on carpet. Players could not earn any
ATP ranking points until 1992 when the event became
part of the ATP Tour and switched surface to hard
courts in 1997.
According to Yves Simon of Sudpresse, Kristoff
Puelinckx, rich businessman from Ghent, bought the
rights of the ATP tournament in Valencia. Sébastian
Grosjean will be involved in the new event.
In October this year, the organizers of the Valencia
Openannounced that the tournament’s licence will
be sold to Belgium.
