Fortis Championships Luxembourg is a tennis tournament held in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. The 2005 event was held from September 26 until October 2. Held since 1991, the tournament was an exhibition event (winners including Novotná, Navrátilová and Appelmans) until 1995. After that, it became a WTA Tier III tournament, which is remained until 2004. In 2005, it was promoted to Tier II, marking the first such event to be held in Luxembourg. As the Sony WTA Tour is being restrucured, many tournaments will not take place anymore. The Fortis Championships however will take place, but has been relegated to a Tier III event for 2008, before it will become an "International Series" tournament in 2009.[1] [2]
Kim Clijsters of Belgium holds the record of most singles wins: 5 (1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005). No other player has won more than once.
