Gray.[3] The first edition of the Bermuda Open Tennis Championships was staged in 1879 at Hamilton, the men's doubles event was won by Pelham Von Donop and Charles Wood.[4] By 1914 the tournament was known as the Bermuda Championships.[1] In 1950s-1960s the denomination used was the Bermuda International or sometimes the Bermuda Invitation (for the women's events).[1] The tournament was also staged at Paget the last time occurring in 1968. The original surface was hard courts until 1944 when it switched to clay courts. In 1975 the Bermuda Championships was rebranded as the Bermuda Open.[1] In 1976 at the final edition its name was changed again to the Bermuda Classic.[1]
