Opening Ceremony and SEB Kids' Day
On Sunday the opening ceremony of the two tennis weeks will take place at the Båstad Tennis Stadium. The spectators will be treated to a tennis exhibition with old and new stars. And Swedish artist Måns Zelmerlöw will perform.

The third edition of the WTA tournament Collector Swedish Open starts on Saturday with the qualifying event that continues on Sunday. And on July 17, the two weeks of tennis will end with the finals of the ATP tournament SkiStar Swedish Open.

The festivities on Sunday will be free of charge with the focus on the entertainment and the next generation, ie the kids. On stage you will see one of Sweden's most popular artists, Måns Zelmerlöw. He loves tennis and enjoys spending time in Båstad. And who knows, perhaps he will show us his tennis skills when switching from his microphone to a tennis racket?

The top Swedish trio, Johanna Larsson, Sofia Arvidsson and Ellen Allgurin will be tested against four-time Swedish Open champion Magnus Gustafsson, and we're expecting more WTA players to make an appearance on court as well. Some of the future tennis stars that have been part of this week's Kalle Anka Cup will also be in action on court.

After the festivities, there will be an opportunity for the kids to take an active part in SEB Kids' Day, where they can play tennis and games with a number of tennis stars and other sports personalities.

There will be free t-shirts and ice-cream for all the kids at the entrance of the tennis stadium.
