History

In 1881 the Berryland Lawn Tennis Club was founded. [3] In 1882 the club staged the first precursor event to these championships known as the Berrylands Club Tournament. [4] In 1889 the Berrylands Lawn Tennis Tournament name was changed to the Surbiton Open. [5] In 1890 the Surbiton Open was held that also featured the first Surrey County Championships. [6] It was an amateur tournament until the open era of tennis considered an important warm-up event to the Wimbledon championships and the first big opener of the grass court season [7] it attracted many former British and foreign Grand Slam champions post open era the tournament was part of the men's Grand Prix Tour in 1974 and from 1979 to 1980. In 1975 the Berryland Lawn Tennis Club's name was changed to the Surbiton Lawn Tennis and Squash Rackets Club. [8] During the 1975 Championships the tournament witnessed the longest single game in tennis history, during a match between Keith Glass and Anthony Fawcett – the game was not timed but it contained 37 deuces. [lower-alpha 1] [9] The men's championships moved to a northern venue in 1981. In 1997 the tournament was first revived as an exhibition tournament won by Jason Stoltenberg. [10] Then in 1998 the former Surrey Championships was restored with a new name known as the Surbiton Trophy.
