Korea Open, Tennis tournament at Olympic Park Tennis Center, Seoul, South Korea
The Korea Open is a tennis tournament held annually featuring professional women players and their teams competing on hard courts at the Olympic Park venue. The competition showcases intense matches between players from different regions and tour levels.
The tournament was founded in 2004 and evolved from a lower WTA classification to become established within the WTA 250 series. This growth reflects increasing interest in professional women's tennis in South Korea.
The tournament brings international tennis players to South Korea and connects local fans with professional athletes from around the world. Visitors experience the exchange between established champions and rising talent competing at the highest level.
The venue is easily accessible by public transportation as the tournament takes place within the large Olympic Park complex. The facility offers plenty of space to watch multiple matches and take breaks between games.
The men's tournament portion ended in 2023 after ATP activities returned to China, transforming the event into a women-only competition. This shift shows how professional tennis schedules are shaped by larger global business decisions.
