History

The Italian tennis championship was first held in 1930 in Milan at the Tennis Club and was initiated by Count Alberto Bonacossa.[2] The singles events at the tournament were won by Bill Tilden and Lilí Álvarez. The championships were held in Milan until 1934. The next year, 1935, the event moved to the Foro Italico in Rome. No edition was held between 1936 and 1949. The competition resumed in 1950. In 1961 the tournament was held in Turin at the Sporting Club.

The Italian Open became "open" to professional players in 1969. Between 1970 and 1989 it was a premier tournament of the Grand Prix Tennis Tour and was part of the Grand Prix Super Series top tier events. In 1990 it became an ATP Championship Series Single Week tournament. In 1979 the women's event was held two weeks before the men's event. The women's event was played in Perugia from 1980 though 1984 and in Taranto in 1985. No women's event was held in 1986[lower-alpha 1] and it moved back to Rome again in 1987 where it has remained.[3]

Notes
  1. The Ellesse Grand Prix women's tournament, part of the Virginia Slims World Championships Series, was held in Perugia in July but it was not recognized as the Italian Open.
  2. The final was stopped at two sets all due to bad light and the final set was played on 15 September in Houston, TX, USA.
