Where and when does the Open Angers Loire Trélazé 2025 take place?

With indoor hard courts, the Arena Loire Trélazé has hosted the Open Angers Loire Trélazé since 2021. On Monday (1st), the competition begins and continues through Sunday (7th), the day of the grand final.

American Alycia Parks, who returns to the competition, is the current champion, having also won in 2022. Russian Vitalia Diatchenko won the first edition in 2021, and France’s Clara Burel claimed the title at home in 2023.

In doubles, Romania’s Monica Niculescu and Elena-Gabriela Ruse are the defending champions in Angers. Niculescu also won in 2023, but as the partner of Spain’s Cristina Bucșa. The Romanian was also runner-up in 2021.

Alycia Parks left with two trophies in 2022, as she won both singles and doubles, the latter alongside China’s Zhang Shuai, runner-up in singles in 2021. The first doubles champions, in 2021, were Slovakia’s Tereza Mihalíková and Belgium’s Greet Minnen.

The WTA 125 is a series of tournaments that features the sport’s second tier of players, just below the WTA Tour.

What is the format of the Open Angers Loire Trélazé 2025?

As is standard in most WTA competitions, the 2025 Open Angers follows a knockout format from the start. It brings together 32 singles players, beginning in the round of 32 and progressing to the final, along with eight doubles teams.

Each match is played in the best-of-three sets format. In addition to 125 ranking points for the winner, this year’s edition also features a total prize pool of USD 115,000.
