EFG Swiss Open Gstaad: History Of The Competition
The Swiss Open Gstaad tournament has a rich history, starting from its inaugural event in 1915. The first competitions were held on the clay courts of the “Royal Hotel, Winter & Gstaad Palace,” with Victor de Kurbash, from the Russian Empire, winning the first tournament. Initially, there were no designated spectator seats and only a handful of people would watch the matches standing.
The tournament persisted through challenging times, including the First World War. However, it did experience a pause in the 1930s and during the Second World War, except for a lone event in 1942. The competition resumed in 1946, and that’s when the first stands were introduced at the Royal Hotel, initially accommodating about 50 spectators and eventually expanding to fit 100 people.
There was a notable incident in 1948 when rain disrupted the event. In an attempt to dry the court, organizers doused it with gasoline and set it on fire. Fortunately, the court was saved from severe damage. Despite this, the Swiss Open Gstaad gained a reputation for quality organization, attracting leading global players and celebrity spectators such as actresses Elizabeth Taylor and Julie Andrews.
Between 2016 and 2018, Gstaad hosted a separate women’s tournament in the summer, which then moved to Lausanne in 2019. Notable champions of the tournament in the Open Era include three-time winners Spaniards Sergi Brugera and Alex Corretja, with Brugera winning consecutively from 1992 to 1994. Other multi-title holders include Casper Ruud of Norway, Guillermo Vilas of Argentina, Joakim Nöström of Sweden, Albert Costa and Emilio Sanchez of Spain, Jiri Novak of the Czech Republic, and Tomas Bellucci of Brazil. Each won the tournament twice.
