The Cincinnati Open stands as one of the most prestigious events on the global tennis calendar. As a combined ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 tournament, it represents the highest tier of professional tennis outside of the Grand Slams.

Founded in 1899, this historic event is the nation’s longest-running professional tennis tournament still played in its city of origin. Decades before the first Indy 500, baseball’s first World Series, or golf’s Masters, the world’s best players were already traveling to Ohio to compete. Today, the tournament welcomes over 200,000 passionate fans in person and broadcasts to more than 126 million viewers across 192 global markets.

Whether you are a seasoned tennis enthusiast planning your annual pilgrimage or a first-time visitor looking to experience world-class sports entertainment, this comprehensive, evergreen guide provides everything you need to know about the 2026 Cincinnati Open.

Park-like Landscaping: Beautiful green spaces, open-air plazas, and water features designed to keep fans comfortable between intense matches.

The facility features 31 total courts, with nine designated as competitive match venues (anchored by P&G Center Court and Grandstand Court), allowing fans to catch continuous tennis action from morning until late into the night.

About the Tournament

The Bank of China Hong Kong Tennis Open has firmly re-established itself as a premier destination for world-class men’s tennis. Held in one of Asia’s most vibrant financial hubs, this tournament brings high-octane energy and elite athleticism to kick off the professional tennis season.

History and First Tournament

While elite tennis in Hong Kong has a rich history dating back to the 1970s, the modern era of the tournament took a major leap forward when it officially returned to the ATP Tour calendar in January 2024, ending a 21-year hiatus of ATP events in the city. Sponsored by the Bank of China (Hong Kong), the tournament is hosted at the historic Victoria Park Tennis Stadium. The venue is famous for its intimate, atmospheric setting, bringing passionate fans closer to the action and creating an electric environment for players.

ATP Category

The Bank of China Hong Kong Tennis Open is classified as an ATP 250 tournament. Despite being in the 250 category, its world-class organization, vibrant host city, and significant financial backing regularly attract a highly competitive field. Top-tier players, including Grand Slam champions and rising stars, use the 28-player singles draw to test their skills against elite competition.

Calendar Position and Relationship with the Australian Open

Positioned perfectly in the first week of January, the Hong Kong Tennis Open shares the exact same calendar slot as the Brisbane International. This timing makes it a critical opening fixture of the global tennis season.

The tournament shares a strategic and vital relationship with the Australian Open. Playing on outdoor hard courts under warm conditions, players utilize the Hong Kong Open as a crucial warm-up event. It provides the perfect opportunity to shake off off-season rust, adapt to competitive match tempos, and build momentum before flying south to Melbourne for the year’s first Grand Slam.
