It is part of the ATP Tour 500 series on the ATP Tour and has been held annually at Rotterdam Ahoy in Rotterdam , Netherlands.
The first ABN AMRO Open tennis tournament was held in November 1972 and was won by Arthur Ashe . The following year the tournament was not organized because it switched to a March date.

In 1984 the singles final between Ivan Lendl and Jimmy Connors was interrupted in the 2nd set (6–0, 1–0) due to a bomb threat and the match was not finished as Lendl was not prepared to play on.[ 1]
Since 2004, former Dutch tennis player Richard Krajicek has been the tournament director.
A record 115,894 people attended the 2012 edition tournament when Roger Federer returned for the first time in seven years.[ 2] This record was broken in 2018 when 120,000 fans attended after Federer accepted a wildcard into the event after a five-year absence.[ 3]
