Tournament History and Details

The Stockholm Open was first held in 1969, a year after the start of the Open Era. The tournament was founded by former world player Sven Davidson and quickly became a prestigious stop on the professional circuit. Over its storied history, the event has attracted some of the biggest names in tennis, with a roll call of past champions that includes Swedish legends like Björn Borg, Mats Wilander, and Stefan Edberg, as well as international superstars such as John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal. The tournament’s current format as an ATP 250 event saw it provide valuable ranking points and a competitive prize money pool, making it an important stop on the ATP’s indoor hard court swing in the final months of the season. The 2025 edition maintained this tradition, offering a 28-player singles draw and a 16-team doubles draw.

The tournament was held at the historic Kungliga Tennishallen, or the Royal Tennis Hall. This venue has been the home of the Stockholm Open since its inception in 1969. The hall, which was built in 1943, has a seating capacity of 5,000 for tennis events. The courts were indoor hard courts, providing a fast-paced and high-bouncing surface that often favored aggressive play. Beyond the Stockholm Open, the Kungliga Tennishallen has a rich history, having hosted the year-end Masters tournament in 1975 and several Davis Cup ties. The venue is owned and operated by three non-profit tennis organizations: Salk, the Stockholm Tennis Federation, and KLTK.
