Stuttgart Open, Tennis tournament in Germany
The Stuttgart Open is an annual grass-court tennis tournament held in June in Stuttgart, Germany, and part of the ATP Tour. The matches take place at the Weissenhof Stadium, which has a retractable roof that keeps play going in any weather.
The tournament was founded in 1978 and has grown from a regional event into a fixture on the international tennis calendar. Over the decades it was played on different surfaces before grass became the permanent choice.
The tournament has built a loyal following in Stuttgart, and during tournament week the area around the tennis facility turns into a lively meeting point for fans. Spectators often come days before the final to watch practice sessions and see the players up close.
The tournament falls in mid-June, making it one of the last chances for players to compete on grass before Wimbledon. Tickets sell out quickly toward the end of the week, so it is worth planning ahead if you want to catch the later rounds.
The event was known for many years as the Boss Open, named after the Stuttgart-based fashion company that sponsored it for a long stretch. That sponsor name is still remembered by many tennis fans even though the official name has long since changed.
