法媒：摩澤爾網賽售予台灣生變

（中央社記者曾依璇巴黎17日專電）法國摩澤爾網球公開賽因財務問題，先前傳出要出售
主辦權給台灣。但法國媒體今天報導，世界職業網球協會（ATP）不准許出售賽事。

法國東北部城市麥次（Metz）的摩澤爾網球公開賽（Moselle Open）創於2003年，是世界
職業網球協會世界巡迴賽250系列賽事（ATP World Tour 250 series）之一，球場為室內
硬地。

法國地方媒體「洛林共和報」（Le Republicain Lorrain）10月報導，摩澤爾網球公開賽
主辦單位因預算不足，打算出售主辦權給台灣投資人。

但團隊報（L’Equipe）和法國新聞電台（Franceinfo）今天報導，世界職業網球協會委
員會昨天未核准出售賽事；協會表示，把賽事從歐洲轉移到亞洲的情況並不常見，委員會
對麥次的申請未達共識。

摩澤爾網球公開賽主辦單位未獲准出售賽事給台灣，還不確定接下來要另覓買家，或就此
停辦。

ATP refuses the sale of the Metz tournament (以下為Google 翻譯)

October 9, Yvon Gérard, general manager of the Moselle Open, tournament
created in 2003, said he sold the race to Robert Han, a businessman "at the
head of CSB, an industry consortium in Asia Pacific " for financial reasons.
But on Wednesday night, the ATP announced refusing sale.

"The demand of the Metz tournament to be sold and transferred to Taiwan has
not been approved by the Steering Committee of the ATP , the statement said.
If ATP consider requests case by case, it is not common for a tournament to
be transferred from one region to another, from Europe to Asia in this case.
Concerning the request for Metz, there was no consensus within the steering
committee would have to approve the application. "

The ATP does not specify if the current owner can look for another buyer or
if the tournament simply disappears. "No formal communication will be made
before November 28" , for his part, said the press secretary of the event.
