Can I check , is there an M25 and M15 in Monastir this week? Seem to be two threads ?

Busy time in Monastir. As well as the two men's events there is a W25 as well. Although the M15 is at a different tenis club from the other two - not surprising with the size of the qualifying draws.

Might be something to do with the new rules which means every country that runs 4 M15s have to then put on a m25 event. Why theyve done it at the same time though I dont know.

Also the same for W15 but the outer event can be anywhere between a W25 and a ITF 100 event.

Im sure there used to be a rule of no events in same country in same week, no doubt thats an old rule now.

It does seem rather strange to run them at the same time - both the men's qualifying draws have a lot of byes so it isn't down to the demand.
