The I-VENT Open Branik Maribor will take place in Maribor, Slovenia. Branik Maribor has been a venue for ITF World Tennis Tour tournaments for several years. Following the successful first edition of the indoor tournament last year, this year's tournament will be even stronger, with a larger prize money of $60,000. Last year, the tournament was won by Japanese player Hontama Mai, currently ranked 120 in the world. Now in a higher category compared to last year, we expect this year's event to attract players who rank in the Top 100 of the WTA rankings.
