Swiss Open (tennis)


The Swiss Open and originally known as the Swiss International Championships is a tennis tournament held in Gstaad, Switzerland. Held since 1898, the tournament is played on outdoor clay courts. Between 1970 and 1989 it was an event of the Grand Prix tennis circuit and is now a part of the ATP Tour schedule as an ATP World Tour 250 series event.
The first edition of the tournament was played in 1915 at the Gstaad Palace Hotel, which was known at the time as the Royal Hotel, Winter & Gstaad Palace, and was organized in collaboration with the Lawn Tennis Club Gstaad. The event was played on clay courts and was won by Victor de Coubasch.
Gstaad is located 1,050 metres above sea level. It is the highest venue for ATP World Tour events in Europe, although lower than the Ecuador Open and the former Colombia Open, both held at the Andes.
