Tennis tournament
The ABN AMRO Open , also known as the Rotterdam Open , and formerly known as: ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament (until 2022), is a professional men's
tennis tournament played on
indoor hard courts . It is part of the
ATP Tour 500 series on the
ATP Tour and has been held annually at
Rotterdam Ahoy in
Rotterdam , Netherlands.
History
The first ABN AMRO Open tennis tournament was held in November 1972 and was won by
Arthur Ashe . The following year the tournament was not organized because it switched to a March date. Originally the Rotterdam Open was an event of the
World Championship Tennis circuit and in 1978 became part of the
Grand Prix tennis circuit . Since 1990 it has been part of the ATP Tour.
In 1984 the singles final between
Ivan Lendl and
Jimmy Connors was interrupted in the 2nd set (6–0, 1–0) due to a bomb threat and the match was not finished as Lendl was not prepared to play on.

Since 2004, former Dutch tennis player
Richard Krajicek has been the tournament director.
A record 115,894 people attended the 2012 edition tournament when
Roger Federer returned for the first time in seven years.
