The German Open, known as the Berlin Tennis Open (previously the Grass Court Championships Berlin, bett1open) is an annual WTA Tour professional tennis tournament for women held in Berlin, Germany. It was played in West Berlin, West Germany (until 1990), then in Berlin from 1991 to 2008 on clay, and since 2021 on grass, following reunification.
Held since 1896, it was one of the oldest tournaments for women. Until 1978 the tournament was held in Hamburg together with the men's tournament. From 1988 until 2008, it was classified on the WTA Tour as a Tier I tournament. Since 2021, it is classed as a WTA 500 tournament.
After an absence of more than a decade, the tournament was announced to return to the WTA calendar for the 2020 season. However, the event was cancelled in April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and it returned in 2021. The new event is classified as a Premier-level tournament and serves as a warm-up event towards the Wimbledon Championships, having switched its surface from clay to grass.
