Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have played two times in Rotterdam with Federer winning in 2005 and Nadal made it to the final in 2009 at his last appearance. "We hope to have players like Nadal and Federer back in the future as much as possible," Krajicek continued.

"This will get the stadium fuller during the week also and not only in the weekend. Federer, Nadal and Roddick are always the main targets. And to have the defending champion is nice as well, but that should not be a problem since Soderling likes it here. We will have to discuss what to do with the starting fee of Djokovic after his cancellation.

"Next year we hope to have Nadal and Federer. It's not about money. This year Nadal just choose in favor of the Davis Cup and because of his injury he was not able to play anyway. We will discuss the matters with our sponsor. The money is there, but we still have to decide what to do. And our tournament has to fit into their schedules of course."

One other issue was the speed of the ball in combination with the hard court, which led to fewer rallies and shorter matches. The final took place in rapid pace of one hour and 23 minutes. Runner-up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga said: "The ball went so fast, it was difficult to get to the net. When I was only in the middle of the court he could already return."

Champion Soderling had the same opinion: "Yes, it was fast, but indoor tennis is always fast. I think for me it is always good. I can play good on both fast and slow courts. Maybe for the crowd it is nicer to get slower conditions."
