The inaugural Stockholm Open Indoor Championships was organized in 1969,[2] and has been held on an uninterrupted basis, barring 2020 when the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Primarily a men's tournament throughout its history, the event hosted women on the WTA Tour in 1975, 1979, and 1980.

History edit

In March 1969, the World Championship Tennis organization made a request to former tennis player Sven Davidson to organize a tournament in Sweden. This led to the development of the Stockholm Open, after which it was inaugurated in November 1969 at the Kungliga tennishallen in Stockholm.[3] The tournament has been held annually at Kungliga tennishallen, with the exceptions of 1989 to 1994 when the event temporarily relocated to the Ericsson Globe Arena. Between 1970 and 1989, it was a major ranking tournament of the Grand Prix Tennis Tour, apart from in 1971 when it was held as part of the WCT circuit.

From 1990 to 1994, the tournament was categorized as an ATP Championship Series Single Week (now ATP Tour Masters 1000) event. Beginning in 1995, the tournament was downgraded from "Super 9" status, with a total prize money pool of up to $1.72 million, to the ATP Tour 250 category, with €711,275 (2019) prize money.
