Chisinau is preparing to become the center of international tennis with the first edition of ATP Challenger Moldova Open. The competition will take place on 26 May - 1 June 2025, at the Sports Arena, bringing together some of the most promising tennis players in the world.

This is the first time that the Republic of Moldova is hosting a professional tournament of such a level, marking a historic moment for national sports. Moldovan tennis player Radu Albot said that this tournament will bring well-ranked players to Moldova, giving the audience the opportunity to watch quality matches.

'It's something special. We have never had such a tournament organized in Moldova, especially at the men's level. I'm glad that it is finally happening,' the athlete said. 'For a small country like Moldova, it is very important to organize such a tournament. Fans who cannot travel to international competitions will have the chance to see top tennis right at the Sports Arena,' said Radu Albot for Moldova 1.

The tournament will have a prize fund of 54 thousand dollars. The competition will be broadcast live and exclusively by the public television channel.
