Tournament History
The Montreux Nestlé Open has a history that reflects its growth and increasing prominence in the world of professional women’s tennis. The tournament was founded in 2017 as an ITF Women’s Circuit event, initially offering a $60,000 prize fund.
Over the years, it established itself as a significant stop on the ITF tour, attracting a diverse range of players from around the world. In 2020, the tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Its success and consistent organization led to a major upgrade in 2024, when it was elevated to a WTA 125 tournament, a step just below the main WTA Tour events.
The 2025 edition marked the second year at this higher level, solidifying its place as the largest international women’s tennis tournament in Switzerland. The transition to the WTA 125 series brought an increased prize purse, more ranking points, and a higher level of competition, drawing more well-known players and elevating its status on the global tennis calendar.
Past champions include rising stars and established professionals, with former winners like Iga Świątek (2018) highlighting the tournament’s role in showcasing future talent. The 2024 champions, Irina-Camelia Begu in singles and the team of Quinn Gleason and Ingrid Martins in doubles, were a testament to the high-quality play that has become a hallmark of the event.
