The Argentina Open or Abierto Argentino is an annual tennis event for male tennis players held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The tournament was established in 1927 as the Argentina International Championships[1] and was a combined men's and women's event from 1928 until 1987 when the women's tournament was discontinued (after 34 years the women's event resumed in 2021). The men's tournament is an ATP Tour 250 event on the ATP Tour, and is played on outdoor clay courts at the 5,500 capacity Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club, in the Palermo barrio (neighbourhood). Usually held in February, it includes both a men's singles and a men's doubles tournament. Between 1970 and 1989 it was part of the Grand Prix tennis circuit and a Grand Prix Super Series event (1970–71).

This event is not to be confused with the Argentine Championship (1918-1997), which was the open national championships of Argentina held at the Tennis Club Argentino (founded 1913) also in Buenos Aires.[2]

History

[edit]

The tournament is currently without sponsor, but presented by the City of Buenos Aires. Previously the event was known by different names such as Argentina International Championships (1921–1969), South American Open (1969–1974), ATP Buenos Aires (1978–80, 1993–95), Copa AT&T and Copa Telmex. The original tournament was founded as a combined men's and women's championship from 1928 until 1987.

For the years 1946-1951, 1955, 1957-1967 this tournament also carried the joint denomination of South American Championships.[1] For the years 1968-1971, 1973-1981 it carried the joint denomination of South American Open Championships or South American Open.[1]
