The Aix-Les-Bains International or Tournoi International d'Aix-Les-Bains was a men's and women's international clay court tennis tournament founded in 1914. The tournament was first held at the Société du Club des Sports, Aix-les-Bains, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France. It was held annually until 1959 when it was discontinued as part of the world wide ILTF Circuit.
1912 the Société du Club des Sports was established in Aix-les-Bains, on purchased land on Avenue Marlioz dedicated to the practice of tennis. It also rented other courts (adjoining Avenue de Marlioz). In 1913 the club founded the Aix-Les-Bains International tournament. In 1953 the Société du Club des Sports changed its name to the Tennis Club of Aix les Bains. The tournament was held annually until 1959 when it was discontinued as part of the world wide ILTF Circuit.
1912 was a pivotal year: the Société du Club des Sports was created in Aix les Bains, which acquired the land on Avenue Marlioz and built part of the infrastructure dedicated to playing tennis there, while it rented other courts (adjacent to Avenue de Marlioz) to the Lapicatière family.
Management of the whole was entrusted to the “Tennis Club” section, which became an association under the 1901 law in 1953 under the name Tennis Club d’Aix les Bains.
The Société du Club des Sports was liquidated in 1977; all the assets then became the property of the City of Aix les Bains, but the activity and management of the club remained entrusted to the association.
The 1912 buildings were restored in 1933 and rebuilt identically in 1971. Subsequently, TC Aix had the two covered structures built. The Club House also benefited from a renovation between 2014 and 2016.
Over time, renowned players have passed through the TC Aix courts:
In the 1920s, Henri Cochet liked to meet up with his friends there.
Thierry Tulasne began his tennis career in Aix les Bains, where he was born.
