The Alverstoke Open[1] was an annual combined tennis tournament founded in 1909 as the Gosport Tournament at Alverstoke, Hampshire, England.[2] The tournament was mainly played on grass courts except for the 1921 to 1923 editions which were played on clay courts. The tournament was part of the ILTF Circuit and ended in 1981.[3]
Alverstoke Lawn Tennis Club was founded in 1880.[4] The club had lawn tennis tournaments as early as 1900. In 1909 Gosport and Alverstoke Lawn Tennis Club established the Gosport Tournament,[5] that event ran until 1914 when it was discontinued due to World War One. In 1918 following the first world war the club revived the previous event under a new name called the Alverstoke Open Lawn Tennis Tournament.[6] The tournament was not held during World War Two but resumed in 1947.[3] The tournament was part of the ILTF Circuit and ended in 1981.[3]
