2000 Axa Cup

The 2000 AXA Cup was a men's tennis tournament played on indoor hard courts at the London Arena in London, England and was part of the International Series Gold of the 2000 ATP Tour. It was the 23rd edition of the tournament, the third and final one held in London, England, and ran from February 21 through February 27, 2000. Unseeded Marc Rosset won the singles title.[3] The centre court surface, which was laid on wooden boards on top of an ice rink, was re-laid during the tournament after Yevgeny Kafelnikov complained it was dangerous.[4]
