While there is still no official confirmation, Israel Tennis Association chairman Asi Tuchmayer has confirmed that the Ramat Hasharon Tennis Center will hold a 250 series tournament between 15-21 September.
He said: “I have dreamed of bringing an ATP Tour event back to Israel ever since I was named as chairman and I’m happy that I have managed to do so. I hope that the world’s top tennis players will come to play in Israel, but regardless, Israeli tennis fans are in for a great experience.”
Stepping in for St Petersburg which was due to stage the event, Ramat Hasharon hosted an ATP Tour event since 1996.
