The 10th edition of the Luxembourg Tennis Federation (FLT) Masters tournament saw Laura Correia and Alex Knaff each claim their first singles titles after straight‑sets victories in tightly contested finals.
In a closely contested women's final, Laura Correia of TC Pétange emerged victorious over Lucie Rabiot from Spora, winning 6-4, 6-4. Although Rabiot managed to start each set with a break, Correia fought back both times, breaking serve and ultimately taking control. The 29-year-old Correia sealed each set with another break in the final game, earning her first title. Rabiot, who previously won in 2023, will now have to wait at least another year for a second triumph.
On the men's side, Alex Knaff, the tournament favourite and licensed at TC Schifflange, defeated Raphael Calzi in straight sets.
The first set saw both players struggling to hold serve, with a total of five breaks. Knaff managed three of them, giving him the edge to close the set 6-3. He then raced to a 3-0 lead in the second set, and from there the outcome was nearly certain, as he sealed the match 6-2, also claiming his first title.
Eleonora Molinaro and Gilles Kremer remain the all-time singles record holders at the FLT Masters with five titles each. In doubles, Molinaro has claimed the title four times, while Kremer shares the top spot with Charles Berna, each with three titles.
The first edition of this tournament took place in 2015. However, this year only marked the tenth edition, as no championship was held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This time, the FLT Masters took place at the Centre National de Tennis (CNT) in Esch-sur-Alzette from 8 to 16 November.
