The Bavarian International Tennis Championships (German: Internationale Tennis-Meisterschaften von Bayern) or the BMW Open (its sponsored name since 1990) by Bitpanda is an ATP Tour 500 tennis event held at the MTTC Iphitos in Munich, Germany. The tournament is played on outdoor clay courts as part of the ATP calendar.[1] In 2025, it was upgraded to an ATP 500 level event.[2][3] Founded in 1899 as a combined men's and women's event,[4][5][6] it is also known as the Bavarian Open.[4]
History
In 1899, the tournament's first edition was held by the tennis club Münchner Tennis- und Turnierclub (MTTC) Iphitos,[7] which was the first tennis club in Munich having been formed in 1892 by students.[4] The club only had grass courts, and the first edition was therefore played on grass. The tournament was founded as a combined men's and women's event, until 1973 when the women's tournament was discontinued. From 1969 the tournament was also branded as the Bavarian Open.[4]
The Center Court of the MTTC has been in Aumeisterweg since 1930, and holds 5,600 people. The tournament has offered prize money since 1970, when the total prizes amounted to $20,000.
