Why the Internationaux de Strasbourg matters in 2026
The Internationaux de Strasbourg runs in Strasbourg, France from 17–23 May, played on slow red clay. Bounces sit higher than on any other tour surface and rallies run longer, which suits heavy topspin and punishes flat hitters. It is an ATP 500 / WTA 500, a second-tier event that helps shape the seedings around the next Slam. The singles champion takes 500 ranking points, and a serious slice of the season prize pool.
Play starts in 14 days, on Sunday 17 May, with the main draw running through to Saturday 23 May.
