Longines Future Tennis Aces 2015

A meeting of talented young players in the heart of Paris.

For the sixth successive year, Longines is inviting 16 promising young tennis players under the age of 13 - coming from 16 different countries -  to showcase their talent in a competition worthy of the very greatest professional players: the Longines Future Tennis Aces tournament.

Held from 28th to 30th May, the 2015 tournament, enhanced by former French tennis player Arnaud Clément as its patron, will pit 16 youngsters against one another on a clay court installed in front of the Eiffel Tower. The winner will be awarded with a Longines watch, the tournament cup and an annual scholarship until his 16th birthday.

In addition, the final of the “Rendez-vous à Roland Garros” circuit, with which Longines has partnered for the first time this year, will be held on the very same court. The winners will receive a Wild Card, allowing them to compete against the best international players in the French Open's Junior tournament.

The visit to Paris for these future champions will start on 26th and 27th May with the Longines Academy, a training camp that will give them the opportunity to familiarise themselves with playing on clay and to receive precious technical tips from two specialists in the sport. Throughout the week, the players will receive encouragement from Arnaud Clément, who the finalists will get the chance to play against in the exhibition match to be held after the tournament's final on Saturday 30th.

The Longines Future Tennis Aces tournament is held during the first week of the French Open at Roland-Garros, of which Longines has been the Official Partner and Timekeeper since 2007. To mark this top-level sporting event, Longines is highlighting a new steel chronograph model, the Conquest Classic Moonphase, housing a self-winding mechanical movement.

This year, Longines has become the partner of the "Rendez-vous à Roland-Garros" tournaments being held in China and Brazil. These competitions aim to identify the best players on clay from their countries with a view to allowing them to fulfil their dream of participating in one of the most prestigious tournaments in the international tennis calendar. The two winners of each tournament (one male and one female) will play against one another in the competition's finals to be held in Paris on May 24, on the same court as the Longines Future Tennis Aces event.
