Astana Open

The Astana Open is a professional tennis tournament, held in Astana, Kazakhstan, at the end of October each year since 2020. The tournament is held on indoor hard courts. In 2020, it was primarily organised due to the cancellation of many tournaments during the 2020 season, because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[1] From 2021, the tournament is carried out as a combined event, with a women's tournament being played the week after the men's (as part of the WTA Tour).[2] It is the first time in history that an ATP and a WTA tournament has been held in Kazakhstan.

Not to be confused with Kazakhstan Open, Astana Cup, Nur-Sultan Challenger, or President's Cup (tennis).
