Amsterdam Masters on the Beach - 2025

Lewicki Memorial

Zandvoort, 5 July - 6 July


The main tournament is on Sunday

The tournament's idea is Jean and Michael Lewicki.

In 2012, Jean Lewicki started “Zandvoort Beach OPEN”.

After his passing, his son Michael renamed it “Zandvoort Beach OPEN – Lewicki Memorial”, and that was the name from 2016 on.

After Covid, it was decided that “Amsterdam Masters on The Beach” was a more appropriate name. The addition  “Lewicki Memorial” remained.

People still refer to the tournament as “Zandvoort”.

We play in a pavilion reserved for us, annex Pavilion 11.
