HISTORY

Created in 1983, at the request of Jean-Paul LOTH (National Technical Director) and the President of the Essonne League, Albert GUILBERT, the Sainte Geneviève des Bois International Minimes Tournament (TIM) is one of the major international tournaments reserved for young people under 14 years old. ​ Classified as Series 1 of the Tennis Europe Junior Tour, since its inception, the tournament responds to the need to confront and measure the best players from Essonne and France

Two young prodigies we know well... The Miami 2025 tournament witnessed some remarkable performances, notably those of Arthur Fils , a promising French player from the Essonne Committee, and Jakub Mensik , a young Czech prodigy. The two players, who both participated in the TIM Essonne tournament organized by the Essonne Committee but in different editions, faced each other in the quarterfinals in Miami, where Mensik defeated Fils 7-6(5), 6-1.
