ATP Copenhagen
Flashback 2002
In 2002, the KB Hallen was the site of the 14th Copenhagen Open. The tournament was held between February 11th and February 17th and tennis elite from all over gathered in Copenhagen. In the final of Copenhagen Open 2002 the German Lars Burgsmüller won his first ATP TOUR tournament by defeating Belgium's, Olivier Rochus 6/3 6/3.
After a 3-year absence, the Danish tennis star, Kenneth Carlsen, had a brilliant comeback in Copenhagen Open 2002. The Dane only needed 1 hour and 15 minutes to defeat Wayne Arthurs (AUS) 6/4 6/4. The victory moved Kenneth into the second round where he met the Italian player, Davide Sanguinetti. This match became one of the most memorable matches in Copenhagen Open's history. Kenneth kept the tennis audience on the edge of their chairs with merciless shots but in the end he was defeated 6/4 6/7(5) 7/6(9) in the well fought, 3 hour long match.
Another highlight of Copenhagen Open 2002 was the dignified appearance of the once world number one ranking player and one of the most winning tennis players in tennis history, Michael Chang (USA). Unfortunately, for Michael and all those who filled KB Hallen to see him play, he had a first round defeat 6/7(5) 6/1 6/3 by German's, Alex Pretzch.

Only few surprises in qual’s second round
Eight players now ready for Monday’s final four qualifying singles
Italy’s Massimo Dell’Acqua is playing against Netherland’s Fred Hemmes Jr., who surprisingly defeated the seventh seeded Paul Goldstein from the USA. Gilles Muller from Luxembourg will meet the sixth seeded George Bastl. Swedish player Magnus Larsson, who won Copenhagen Open back in 1992, will have to beat Czech Petr Luxa to enter the main tournament, while forth seeded Tomas Behrend from Germany is playing against fellow countryman Kohlmann, who in second round beat Danish player Printzlau.
So, in total, it was a day with high quality play, but few surprises in a strong field of players. (from official site)
