Tournament History
The tournament has been held since 1984. In 1993-2013, the competition had the highest status in the regular calendar of the women's tour, but in 2014, having lost part of the sponsors, the organizers were forced to voluntarily lower the status of their prize by selling the previous license of the tournament to a new competition in Wuhan , and having bought the place on the calendar from the competition themselves Junior Premier Series in Carlsbad .
For a long time, the tournament was held in the hall of the Tokyo Palace of Sports on carpeted courts, but since 2008, with a change in the timing and expansion of the tournament grid, the competition has moved to the Ariake Tennis Forest Park outdoor courts. The main arena of this complex has a retractable roof, which competition organizers often use during periods of rain in this area of Tokyo .
In 2019, the tournament was transferred from Tokyo to Osaka.
- Winners and finalists
Two tennis players managed to win in Tokyo at once four times. Lindsay Davenport and Martina Hingis have won a couple of all singles tournaments between 1997 and 2003. The only Japanese woman to win this category in the Tokyo tournament is Kimiko Date , who won the 1995 competition. Twice the singles final was held according to a shortened program: in 1997, Steffi Graf did not enter the decisive match, and 12 years later Elena Yankovich starred after seven games.
The most titled tennis players in the history of doubles are American Lisa Raymond and Czech Helena Sukova , who took the main trophy of the competition five times. The best performance of Japanese women in the home tournament dates back to 2008, when Ai Sugiyama reached the final. Seven times the pair competition was taken by duets composed of tennis players from one country. Four times in this role were representatives of the United States . Three finals were played by two mono-ethnic duets.
