From April 22 to May 16, 2024 in Evry, students and FFT-licensed players will compete in the 21st edition of this tennis tournament.
Since 1999, a group of nine to ten students has been running this exciting and lively men's tennis tournament held at the heart of the Telecom SudParis and Institut Mines-Télécom Business School international campus in Evry-Courcouronnes.
The largest student-run tournament
Over the years, the Open IMT has become the largest student-run tournament in the Paris region, with the most prize money (€11,000 for this 21st edition). It is certified by the French Tennis Federation. In 2019, it joined the National Circuit of Major Tournaments (CNGT).
Open to men's singles, it welcomes around 200 participants each year, including players ranked between 300th and 500th in the world professional tennis rankings (ATP).
Furthermore, Open IMT is a real-life playing field for experimenting with project-based teaching, which is at the heart of the schools' teaching model. Engineering students have the opportunity to bring large-scale projects to life.
The tournament is part of the school's GATE® (Gestion et de l'Apprentissage du Travail en Équipe [fr]) teaching program and is an opportunity for Telecom SudParis student engineers to participate in the event's development in all its professional aspects.
As a national sporting event, the tournament also represents an opportunity for companies. Agglomération Grand Paris Sud, le Département de l'Essonne, la Société Générale, Artik Consulting, Talan, Point.P, Stop Led, Tennis Compagnie, Laroq, Intercaves Vigneux-sur-Seine, Le Forum des télécommunications are partners of the 2024 event.
