History
[edit]In July 1955 the first Trophée Raquette d'Or was held at the Tennis Club Aixois (TCA) and played across 5 clay courts was a men's event. In 1956 a women's event was staged for the first time.[2] In 1962 Tennis Club Aixois had been expanded to the point it became a country club and was renamed as the Country Club Aixois.[2] The men's event ran until 1974 then was not staged for the next two years until 1977 through to 1978 when the Aix-en-Provence Golden Racket ended. The women's event also ran until 1974.
In 1984 the men's event was resestablished as Aix-en-Provence Open a Grand Prix circuit event for two editions only until 1985. In 1988 the women's event was reestablished at the same venue as the WTA Aix-en-Provence Open a WTA Category 4 tournament for one edition only.
From 1985 until 2002 the Country Club Aixois did not stage anymore senior tour level tennis events. In 2003 a men's challenger event was resestablished at the venue called the Open Sainte-Victoire which ran until 2005. The club once again ceased to stage events until 2013 when it was chosen to host a new challenger event called the Open du Pays d'Aix which is still operating today.
