Tennis tournament
The Bavarian International Tennis Championships (German : Internationale Tennis-Meisterschaften von Bayern , known since 1990 by its sponsored name BMW Open ) is a men's tennis tournament held at the MTTC Iphitos in Munich , Germany. Founded in 1899 as a combined men's and women's event.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] and also known as the Bavarian Open. [ 1] The tournament is played on outdoor clay courts and is a part of the ATP Tour schedule.[ 4]
In 1899, the tournament's first edition was held by the tennis club Münchner Tennis- und Turnierclub (MTTC) Iphitos ,[ 5] which was the first tennis club in Munich having been formed in 1892 by students.[ 1] The club only had grass courts , and the first edition was therefore played on grass. The tournament was founded as a combined men's and women's event, until 1973 when the women's tournament was discontinued. From 1969 the tournament was also branded as the Bavarian Open.[ 1]
The Center Court of the MTTC has been in Aumeisterweg since 1930, and holds 5,600 people. The tournament has offered prize money since 1970, when the total prizes amounted to $20,000. From 2025, this tournament will be upgraded to an ATP 500 level event.[ 6]
