The story

Stockholm Open in Stockholm

Stockholm Open is Sweden's historic indoor tennis tournament, played each October at the Royal Tennis Hall since founder Sven Davidson launched it in 1969. One of the longest-running stops on the men's professional tour, it has crowned champions from Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe to Roger Federer and Casper Ruud, and remains an ATP 250 fixture on fast indoor hardcourt after more than five decades of continuous play.

Stockholm Open traces back to 1969, when former Swedish tennis star Sven Davidson helped found a tournament that would give Sweden's growing tennis culture a permanent home on the professional calendar.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few tournaments on the modern tour can claim the continuity of Stockholm Open: it has run almost every year since 1969, moving only briefly to the Globe Arena between 1989 and 1994 before returning to its home at the Royal Tennis Hall, a venue whose name still appears on the trophy presentations

02

The mystery stays covered

The tournament's roll of champions doubles as a history of men's tennis, with four-time winners John McEnroe and Boris Becker, a Bjorn Borg title in front of his home crowd, and a 2010 Roger Federer win among the highlights

03

The city starts moving

Played indoors on hardcourt in October, it offers a fast, low-bounce contrast to the clay-court tennis of Bastad earlier in the Swedish summer
