With weather conditions that promise to be exceptional and a course prepared to perfection, this new part of the Open Generali in Dinard should keep all its promises.

The Breton public will be able to follow the field of 109 players from all over the world (20 nationalities), and support some of the best French players.

Among them, we will find headlining Valentine Derrey. The Saint Cloud Golf player, who will celebrate her 27th birthday tomorrow, is in great shape at the start of the 2014 season, which was punctuated by a magnificent victory during the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open on the Ladies European Tour (LeT). Former tournament winners Jade Schaeffer and Caroline AFONSO will also be present at Dinard this week. Note that the latter, Generali ambassador, has just pocket her ticket for The Evian Championship.

As for foreigners, the best players from LETAS will be there: the Swiss Melanie MAETZLER, currently at the top of the 2014 ranking, the Italian Vittoria VALVASSORI (3rd), the Swedish Isabella RAMSAY (4th) and Lina BOQVIST (5th) or again the Chilean Mia PICCIO (6th). Note that the first 5 in the final ranking of LETAS 2014 will pocket their card on LET in 2015.

This Dinard Open GENERALI will also be the opportunity to follow young French amateur players who will be able to situate their level of play alongside professional players. Among them, keep an eye on Anaëlle Carnet (4th in national amateur ladies 'merit), Justine Dreher (5th) and Eva Gilly (15), 2nd in amateur young girls' merit.

We are expecting many of you from Friday to Sunday to live an exceptional moment when the fight for victory already promises to be full of surprises.
