Super series events are:

March - Cajun Classic in USA (cancelled )
April - Japan Open (cancelled)
June - French Riviera Open (just after Roland Garros)
July - British Open (in Bolton just after Wimbledon)
September - USTA Championships (just after US Open)

As well as these 3 (normally 5) events and the 4 slams , there are more lower level events. And at year end, a Grand Prix masters which is held in Netherlands usually.

 Rotterdam is mens only a la ATP event, Alfie and Gordon are both in the 12 players listed on the tournament website. Although its a ATP 500 equivalent level, like the main atp event , it has a strong line up.

 The event has a $32k prize fund, for 12 players, so akin to a top challenger level in terms of money. And bigger than say squash at top pro level in fact.

Good day for the Brits as Alfie and Gordon both won their semis, big upset by Gordon over the world #1. So two Brits playing each other in the Rotterdam final and they are also into the doubles final.

Good week for the Brits and a British winner guaranteed.

The level of this event is akin to the ATP500 main tour event, so a very good standard and well done
