How does it work?
The qualifiers are played in groups of 4, i.e. you have 8 weeks to play 3 ranking-relevant matches. In one or two of these three matches you are the organizer and host. In the other matches you are the guest. As the host, you are obliged to organize the match, reserve the court and also report the result to the official after the match via the TennisMatch app or email. Since "no-ad" is played, a match should generally not last longer than 90 minutes (the courts are reserved for 2 hours).
The 4 best players in each category will enter the main tournament. The exact qualification modalities will be communicated by email. There will be a 1/2 final and a final. (Subject to change). The date given in the Swiss Tennis Tableau is the last possible match date. This applies if the players cannot agree on another date.

Seven Sundays
Sunday morning is the epitome of a relaxed, refreshed awakening after a peaceful night's sleep: you are carefree, without stress and start the new day full of energy. This is the feeling that the three Seven Sundays founders Reinhardt Maier and his sons Florian and Benjamin wanted to convey to their customers every day when they started developing clever sleep innovations. The Seven Sundays sleep system was carefully handcrafted from the highest quality foams. With it, you wake up as rested and relaxed as if every day were a Sunday.
