LIVERPOOL INTERNATIONAL TENNIS TOURNAMENT
The Liverpool International Tennis Tournament celebrated it ’ s 20th anniversary this year as it continues to serve as a perfect warm up event for Wimbledon .
In the past , it ’ s welcomed the likes of Novak Djokovic and Emma Raducanu , and it ’ s come a long way from the public parks it used to host the tournament at .
Tournament director , Anders Borg said : " Initially I just wanted to host a competition in a city where football was heavily prevalent , and this included football star Steven Gerrard awarding the first champion of the competition , Marat Safin , his trophy . We have had a spectacular three days of grass court tennis here in Liverpool with some wonderful performances by all the players . It ’ s great for everyone to be able to enjoy live tennis and we wish all our participants good luck in Wimbledon ."
