Dear Tournament Participants,
this year marks the 30th anniversary of the largest and highest-paying ITF World Tennis Masters Tournament on the ITF Masters Tour. For over two decades, world champions and former ATP and WTA professionals have gathered under the palms of the Beach Club Hotel Font de Sa Cala to celebrate senior tennis at the highest level in a friendly and family-oriented atmosphere.
The Mallorca tournament, catering to age groups from 30 to 90, has become a must-attend event each year for hundreds of tennis players worldwide—ranging from ambitious amateur players to world-ranked leaders.
In 2024, we achieved a record registration with 997 participants. Nowhere else can you earn more world ranking points than in Font de Sa Cala. The Mallorca ITF World Tennis Masters Tournament MT 1000 is often compared to a Grand Slam for seniors. Only twelve tournaments worldwide, two of them in Europe, hold the ITF’s highest classification of MT 1000, and the Mallorca tournament is one of them.
Over the years, participants and their companions have been consistently impressed by the perfect tournament organization and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The family-friendly ambiance of the 4-star+ tournament hotel, the official player evenings, the grand raffle, and the Happy Hour significantly contribute to the event’s overall success.
Alongside a prize pool of €15,000 and valuable material prizes, participants compete for coveted ITF world ranking points, DTB points, and performance class points. This year, the prize money will increase in certain age groups thanks to new sponsors who have committed to supporting specific categories.
Both regional-level players and top-ranked international athletes have felt equally at home at this event in previous years. So when registering through the ITF, don’t be intimidated by the many world-ranked players. Participants from regional leagues to upper leagues are just as welcome as national and international ranking players.
The Tennis Club Font de Sa Cala, the tournament hotel, and the entire tournament organizing team
will, as always, strive to provide all participants and their companions with an unforgettable tennis experience on Mallorca.
For me, this anniversary tournament will be the last one I lead as tournament director. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank my long-standing team for their outstanding work. It is rare to have team members volunteer for 14 days of tournament organization, sacrificing two weeks of their annual leave to make this event happen.
My heartfelt thanks also go to the Contracting Manager of the Beach Club Hotel, Dino Serra. With his help, this tournament came to life, and without his support, we would never have become what we are today: one of the largest and most successful tournaments on the ITF Masters Tour.
This event would not have been as successful without the generous support of all our long-standing sponsors. For that, I extend my sincere gratitude.
We are looking forward to welcoming your
registrations through the ITF once the entry lists open!
Helge Albrecht
Tournament director
