The ATP event was set to be organised
in the city of Israel but due to an ongoing armed conflict in the region, the tournament

ATP has officially announced that the Sofia Open has been added to the calendar for
just one year.
The tournament will be organized by
the Bulgarian Tennis Federation and the prize money will be worth more than
half a million Euros.
BTF President Stefan Tzvetkov was
quoted in a report where he expressed his excitement about the tournament being
organised in the country
“We’re excited to host ATP Tour
tennis back in the historic city of Sofia again,” he said. “It goes without
saying that we wish the circumstances were different, and our thoughts remain
with all those affected by the terrible conflict.
“Our appreciation goes to ATP, the
Bulgarian Government, the Municipality, and our team. We look forward to
working together with ATP to deliver a successful event for the players and the
incredible fans of Bulgaria.”
