History of Geneva Open
The Geneva ATP Tournament (officially Geneva Open Gonet, formerly also Geneva Open) is a men's tennis tournament initially held in Geneva, Switzerland, from 1980 to 1991. It was played outdoors on clay courts.
The tournament was part of the ATP Series, the predecessor series of the ATP Tour 250. In the 1992 season, the Geneva Open was replaced by the Cologne tournament.
It returned to the ATP Tour schedule in 2015 as the successor to the Düsseldorf tournament.
Mats Wilander, Stan Wawrinka, and Casper Ruud are the singles record-holders, each with two editions won. Mate Pavić is the doubles record-holder with three wins, two with Oliver Marach and one with Nikola Mektić.
