Tokyo Open Tournament Evolution

  • The tournament lineage began in 1973 with the Toray Silook Tournament, which the official event history describes as Japan’s first women’s professional tennis circuit.
  • In 1984, the event was relaunched as the Toray Pan Pacific Open, with Manuela Maleeva winning the first tournament under the new identity.
  • The event has featured generations of major champions, including Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova, Gabriela Sabatini, Martina Hingis and other leading players of their eras.
  • The modern tournament is staged on outdoor hard courts in Tokyo.
  • Tokyo is the final WTA 500 tournament of the 2026 season.
  • Belinda Bencic enters as defending champion after winning the 2025 title.
