The event is part of the ATP Challenger Tour.

Previously played on outdoor clay courts, it has been played indoors on hard GreenSet courts since 2011, at Sport Center of the Queue d'Arve.

Originally, it was held at the Drizia-Miremont Tennis Club.

Two-time Swiss champion Stanislas Wawrinka would later enter the world top 10 in the ATP rankings in 2008.

This award honors the best challenger tournament in the world.
