Where it comes from

The tournament began as a women’s event on the WTA Tour, first held in 2016 after the Women’s Tennis Association expanded the grass court season. With support from the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, a new tennis complex with five grass courts was built in Mallorca. The women’s tournament ran until 2019, after which its sanction was transferred to another event. In 2019, plans were announced to bring an ATP men’s tournament to Mallorca, and after a delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the men’s event debuted in 2021, marking the ATP’s return to the island after nearly two decades.
