Event Status - ATP 250:
The European Open is staged as part of the ATP 250 series and has been an uninterrupted fixture on the calendar since 2016. Even during the global pandemic, the event continued without cancellation, strengthening its reputation as a reliable tour stop.

Surface & Courts:
Matches are played on indoor hard courts. These courts provide higher bounce and faster conditions compared to clay, rewarding attacking players and those with strong service games.

Location:
From 2016 to 2024, the event was staged in Antwerp. Starting in 2025, it will be held at the Brussels Expo Arena in Brussels.

Format:
The European Open features competitions in both singles and doubles.

Past Champions:
- 2016: Richard Gasquet (FRA) won the inaugural edition, defeating Diego Schwartzman (ARG) in the final with a score of 7-6 (7-4), 6-1.
- 2017: Jo Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) claimed the title, once again defeating Schwartzman.
- 2019: Andy Murray (GBR) produced a memorable comeback victory, defeating Stan Wawrinka (SUI) 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 in one of the event's most high-profile finals.
- Diego Schwartzman has reached three finals but has yet to secure the title.

No player has successfully defended the singles crown, adding to the tournament's reputation for unpredictability.

Doubles Champions:
The doubles event has also featured top names:
- 2016: Daniel Nestor (CAN) and Edouard Roger Vasselin (FRA) won the inaugural title.
- 2018: Roger Vasselin paired with Nicolas Mahut (FRA) to secure another win.
- 2021: Mahut claimed his second doubles crown, this time alongside Fabrice Martin (FRA).

Betting Trends & Insights:
The European Open often favors versatile players who adapt quickly to indoor conditions. Baseliners with precise shot-making and strong return games have historically done well. Because the tournament is played late in the year, fatigue can be a factor, creating opportunities for upsets and making outright winner markets less predictable.

Atmosphere & Significance:
As Belgium's only ATP Tour event, the European Open holds national prestige. Fans embrace both homegrown players and international stars, while the intimate indoor setting provides an electric atmosphere.

Future Outlook:
With its move to Brussels, the European Open is poised to grow further in stature. Its consistent place in the ATP calendar ensures that it will continue to attract top players and offer fans world-class tennis in Belgium.
