Tennis Channel Open

The Tennis Channel Open (its sponsored name) was a men's hard court tennis tournament also known as the Las Vegas Open. It was an ATP International Series event that was first founded as the WCT Scottsdale Open in 1986. That tournament by 2005 was officially known as the Scottsdale Open.

In 2005, The Tennis Channel purchased the tournament from IMG and moved it from Scottsdale to Las Vegas. In April 2008, The Tennis Channel announced that it was selling the tournament to the ATP, and the week the event had been held was now the first week of Davis Cup.

History

Founded in 1986 as the WCT Scottsdale Open by 2005 that tournament was known as the Scottsdale Open. By the end of that year the Tennis Channel bought the rights to the event and moved it to Las Vegas where it was branded as the Tennis Channel Open in 2006 its sponsored name. The move to Las Vegas was to bring a top-level tour event back to the city to fill the gap left by the Alan King Tennis Classic that ended in 1985. It was succeeded later by a lower tier event the Las Vegas Challenger in 1997 that ran till 2000.

This event was an ATP World Series event from 1992 to 1999, then an ATP International Series event from 2000 that ran until 2008 when it was discontinued, when the Tennis Channel sold the rights to the event. In 2015 the Las Vegas Challenger event resumed. In 2023 it was renamed the Las Vegas Tennis Open.

Past finals

The tournament had been in existence since 1986 located at the Scottsdale Radisson Resort. From 1987 to 2005 the tournament took place at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, where Andre Agassi was crowned champion four times.
