The Dutch Open is a professional tennis tournament currently part of the ATP Challenger Tour since 2019. [1] It is played on outdoor clay courts in Amersfoort (until 2024) and later Bunschoten, Netherlands (since 2025).

Contents

Originally known as the International Championships of the Netherlands and then known as the Dutch Open Tennis, it was a Grand Prix circuit and subsequently an ATP Tour event held in three different locations in The Netherlands between 1957 and 2008. No tournament was organized in 1967. From 1957 to 1973 the tournament consisted of both men's and women's events (singles, doubles, mixed doubles) but from 1975 onward only men's singles and doubles events were held. [2]

History

The tournament was a Grand Prix in the 1970s and an ATP Tour event from its inception in 1990. Amsterdam became the event host in 1995 and in 2002 the tournament moved to Amersfoort where it was held until its final edition in 2008.

In 2008 the organizers sold the right of organization to the family of Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic, and the tournament was moved to Belgrade, where it became known as the Serbia Open. [3]

In 2019, the tournament returned as an ATP Challenger Tour event, known as the Van Mossel Kia Dutch Open, first held in Amersfoort, and since 2025 held in Bunschoten, Netherlands. As a Challenger event, it was the continuation of The Hague Open, which had been held in Scheveningen from 1993-2018.

Balázs Taróczy won six editions and is the record title holder.
