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]

History

[edit]

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]
