Report The event was organised by Richard Evans when he was director of the ATP European Operations. He wrote that the singles title was taken by Probst, a young German player who never again won a tournament outside of Germany. Nevertheless, 1977 proved to be Probst` most successfull year. He did win 4 singles titles and the National Doubles and National Indoor Doubles Titles.

Prize Money for the tournament was $13,500
