History
The model for the NSW Open was formed in 1885 when colonial officials decided there was a need to discover the best tennis player in each of the colonies and to use the tournament to assist with selection to the Australasia Davis Cup team, however the first time the tournament was played as a permanent annual event was in 1935.
Change of location
The NSW Open was played at the White City complex, close to the Sydney CBD, but since the 2000 Summer Olympics, the event has moved to the Sydney International Tennis Centre, in Homebush, a suburb of Western Sydney and a part of the 2000 Olympic games site. The venue consists of 15 outdoor courts and a centre court along with an administrative building, for the whole of Tennis NSW
