The inaugural edition began on 23 August 1898 in the Hague the first champion of the event was Irish player Joshua Pim awarded the title as a result of a walkover against American player William Howard[3] until 1994 the tournament was played in multiple cities . It was part of the Grand Prix tennis circuit in the 1970s and an ATP Tour event from its inception in 1990. Amsterdam became the event host in 1995 and in 2002 the tournament moved to Amersfoort where it was held until its final edition in 2008.

In 2008 the organizers sold the right of organization to the family of Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic, and the tournament was moved to Belgrade, where it became known as the Serbia Open.[4]

gollark: So...you disable omnitools, fancy armor, RC somethings, BM bound stuff (wait, that's commted out), ***TC flight***, muck with foci for some reason, AE2's "blockgrinder" (is that the grindstone ore doubly thing?) is disabled, ProjectE is destroyed, no osmium tools (what?), one builder's want gone (what?), some generators gone (what?), more flight gone, no potion rings, ... and if I understand this correctly you just hide some of the recipes rather than actually fix them...?!
gollark: Hmm, zenscript seems quite horrible.
gollark: Er, why not.
gollark: What?
gollark: Also, please link the modlist and list of disabled-for-some-stupid reason stuff, I bet I can find some things.
