History

In 1894, the Hungarian National Tennis Championships were established. In 1903, the first Hungarian international competition was held in Budapest and then part of Austria-Hungary. In the beginning, the national tournament did accept foreign entries, but it did not carry the denomination of international championships. In 1921, the international event became a standalone championship in its own right. After 1924, the Hungarian International Championships served as a fully open international event, while only Hungarian players could possibly go for the national title.[2] After World War II, the international tournament continued through till 1975 when it was discontinued.
