Berlin is a city known for its tumultuous history, nightlife, and modern architecture. However, in recent years, it has also established itself as an important tennis capital. Here, in the green district of Grünwald, one of the most prestigious grass tournaments in the women's circuit is held annually. The German capital is regaining its former glory by attracting the world's best tennis players and delighting spectators with an atmosphere that combines the elegance of old school and the drive of modern shows.

This event has become a real breath of fresh air for German fans who have been without major competitions in the capital for many years. The tournament has replaced the historic German Open, which was held in Berlin since 1896. Thanks to the modern approach of the organizers and the attractive "tennis and lifestyle" concept, bett1open has quickly gained popularity and become an important stage of preparation for Wimbledon.
