WTA Brasil Open

This article is about the women's tennis tournament. For the men's tennis tournament, see ATP Brasil Open. For the golf tournament, see Brazil Open (golf).

The WTA Brasil Open was founded in 1977 as the successor event to the earlier Brazilian International Championships (1932–1969).

Although the WTA itself currently does not acknowledge many of these tournaments to be new editions of one larger tournament, a part of historians, the press, and the media, see them as only one tournament despite changes in names, cities, surfaces, and various hiatus.[1][2][3][4]
