The Nottingham Open, known as the Lexus Nottingham Open

Wimbledon.[1]

History

The event was founded in 1887 as the Nottingham Championships until 1967.

International Women's Open at Eastbourne became a combined event for both male and female players.[6]

ATP Challenger Series event, one level lower than the main ATP Tour. The Nottingham Tennis Centre, which had hosted the Open, had undergone refurbishments costing £735,000 in 2008, and councillor Dave Trimble called it "great news" to have a new tennis event in the city.[7][8]
