Each season, the top tennis tournaments in the world draw in thousands of spectators who experience the incredible atmosphere surrounding these global events. These major tennis tournaments are some of the hottest tickets in sport, and offer fans the opportunity to see the world’s best tennis players live on the biggest stages. Along with the tennis action, there’s also a lot of history and tradition, unique to each tournament. If you’re wondering “What are the best tennis tournaments to attend?” we’ve compiled a list of nine of our favorites below.\n \nWhat are the Major Tennis Tournaments?\nThe 9 Major Tennis Tournaments are:\nWimbledon\nUS Open\nAustralian Open\nFrench Open\nSummer Games\nTennis Tournament\nBNP Paribas Open\nWTP Finals\nATP Finals\nLaver Cup\nWhat are the 4 Grand Slam tennis tournaments?\nThe Grand Slam tournaments in tennis are:\nWimbledon\nUS Open\nAustralian Open\nFrench Open\nWhat are the top 5 professional tennis tournaments?\nOur top 5 professional tournaments in tennis are:\nThe Summer Games\nBNP Paribas Open\nATP Finals\nWTA Finals\nLaver Cup\nWhich top tennis tournament is the most prestigious?\nMost people would agree that Wimbledon is the\nmost prestigious tennis tournament\n. Of the four grand slam tournaments in professional tennis (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open), Wimbledon always seems to attract the most attention. It seems to be a favorite major tennis tournament of the players too; American\nSam Querrey notably referred to it as the best tournament\n, comparing it to golf’s iconic Masters.\nBest Major Tennis Tournaments to Attend\nWimbledon – All England Club, London (Grand Slam Event)\nIt only makes sense to start the list of top tennis tournaments with the\nmost famous (and prestigious) tennis tournament\nin the world.\nWimbledon\ndates back to the year 1877 when the first tournament was played on the grass lawns of the All England Club just outside of London, England.\nWimbledon is still played on grass courts, one of many long-standing traditions of this historic tournament. Appearances by the Royal Family (and other celebrities), fresh strawberries and cream, and the famous all-white dress code are other traditions that have become associated with the tournament.\nOne of the four major tennis tournaments (also known as grand slams), Wimbledon takes place over two weeks in early summer. It attracts a long list of the best tennis players in the world and has hosted some of the sport’s\nmost iconic matches\non the All England Club’s famous Centre Court. Each year,\nWimbledon packages\nare among the most sought after in tennis.\nThinking Wimbledon might be the one to build a trip around? Start with our guide to\nchoosing the best Wimbledon travel packages\nbefore you book.\nUS Open – National Tennis Center, New York (Grand Slam Event)\nThe last Grand Slam of the season, the US Open is also the most famous professional US tennis tournament. The US Open was first played in 1881 as the US National Championship. What makes it one of the best tennis tournaments to attend? Well for starters, it offers a\ndifferent and unique atmosphere\nthan the other majors. It’s lively, fun, and exuberant, just like its host city, New York.\nThis top tennis tournament takes place at the US National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, NY, though many fans will\nstay in Manhattan\nand take advantage of the city’s incredible dining, shopping, and entertainment when they’re not checking out the tennis. Just like Wimbledon, you’ll find no shortage of\ncelebrity presence\nat the US Open.\nThe\nUS Open\nplays out each year in late August\/early September and we think it’s the perfect way to wrap up the summer.\nAustralian Open – Melbourne Park, Melbourne (Grand Slam Event)\nThe first of the four major tennis tournaments on the calendar, the\nAustralian Open\nis a bucket list event for fans around the world. It’s one of\nthe largest sporting events in the Southern hemisphere\nand has taken place at Melbourne Park since 1988, though the tournament dates back to 1905.\nThe Australian Open is played on a hard-court surface and has been dominated by Novak Djokovic in recent years. He’s won the tournament ten times since 2008, giving him the record of\nmost singles titles at the event\n.\nAs the first grand slam of the year,\nexcitement is always high\nfor this famous Melbourne tennis event and as one of the highest attended, it definitely makes the list of best tennis tournaments.\nFrench Open – Roland Garros, Paris (Grand Slam Event)\nThe French Open is different from the other major tennis tournaments in that it is the only one played on clay courts. Clay is known to be a\ndifficult surface to play on\n, due to the slower moving ball. Some players seem to excel on the clay, most notably\nRafael Nadal\n, who won an incredible fourteen French Open Championships.\nOne of the best parts about the French Open is the amazing city of Paris. There’s a reason it is regarded as one of the\nmost beautiful cities in the world\n. With its charming cafés, amazing food, great hotels, and stunning architecture, it makes an ideal backdrop for one of the best tennis tournaments in the world.\nThe 2026 French Open tennis tournament dates are May 24th to June 7th. With a history dating back 134 years, this tournament has been home to hundreds of memorable moments.\nThe Summer Games – Los Angeles, USA\nThe\nSummer Games\nis unique in that it’s more than just a major tennis tournament. The best thing about the Summer Games tennis tournament is that fans can take in so many other incredible sporting events in one city surrounded by an incomparable atmosphere.\nTennis made its first Summer Games appearance at the inaugural event in 1896 but was later dropped in 1924. It returned in 1988 and has remained in the lineup ever since.\nSome of our staff, including Roadtrips President Dave Guenther and VP Jeff Wills, had the pleasure of witnessing the gold medal final at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris and described it as the best tennis they have ever seen. They were part of the rapt crowd that looked on as Djokovic finally won the gold medal that was missing from his storied career.\nThe\n2028 Summer Games\nare in Los Angeles, USA from July 26 to August 11th, with the tennis events taking place\nJuly 19-28th\n. The Summer Games tennis tournament will be played at the\nCarson Tennis Courts\n.\nWhen tennis fans aren’t checking out the tennis action, they can watch the best athletes in the world compete in 31 other sports or explore the incredible host country of France.\nBNP Paribas Open – Indian Wells Tennis Garden, Indian Wells\nThere are many reasons we consider the BNP Paribas Open to be one of the top tennis tournaments. The first is, of course, the tennis itself. This major tennis tournament attracts the top players in the world, and is a favorite with fans as well. It regularly draws over 400,000 fans with a\nrecord 504,268 fans\nexperiencing the tournament in 2025.\nAnother draw of the BNP Paribas Open is its location. The tournament refers to itself as\n“Tennis Paradise”\nand it’s hard to argue that. The event takes place in Indian Wells, in the Palm Springs area of California. This stunning travel destination offers luxury resorts, world-class golf, incredible shopping and dining, high-end spas, and plenty to appease the nature lovers. It also boasts wonderful weather, the perfect spot for a late winter getaway.\nATP Finals – Inalpi Arena, Turin\nThe\nATP Finals\nare another top tennis tournament. The ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) Finals date back to 1970, though it has gone through a few different names and versions since then. From 2009 to 2021 the tournament was held at O2 Stadium in London, before moving to its current location in Turin. The tournament features the top 8 qualifiers in men’s singles and doubles, wrapping up the ATP season.\nThe ATP Finals follow a different format than the grand slams, which use a knock-out\/bracket system. This event follows a group stage format. Each player is put into a group of four and plays each other player in his group. The top two from each group move on to a semi-final and then the championship final match.\nWTA Finals – King Saud University, Riyadh\nThe professional women have their own major tournament to cap off their season. The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Tour concludes with the WTA Finals. The 2025 tournament will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.\nSimilar to the ATP Finals, the tournament is played as a group-stage\/round-robin format, followed by the semi-finals and finals. For the 2025 tournament, the top eight women’s singles and doubles players will battle for victory and a share of the record\n$15.25 million prize purse\n.\nLaver Cup – The O2, London\nNamed after popular Australian tennis pro Rod Laver, the Laver Cup is a relative newcomer to the tennis scene. The inaugural tournament took place in 2017 and it has been held annually since then, with the exception of 2020.\nThe Laver Cup is a weekend tournament that pits players from Europe against players from the rest of the world. Each of the two teams (Team Europe and Team World) are comprised of six players: three that qualify based on their ranking and three that are chosen by team captains. Yannick Noah and Andre Agassi were the team captains for the 2025 tournament.\nThe location of the Laver Cup alternates between Europe and the rest of the world, with the 2026 tournament taking place in London. It’s a fun event and it’s always played on an indoor court, or one with a retractable roof, so there’s no worry about getting rained out.\nWhere is the next major tennis tournament?\nWTA Finals, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: November 1-8, 2025\nATP Finals, Turin, Italy: November 9-16, 2025\nAustralian Open, Melbourne, Australia\n: January 18 – February 1, 2026\nBNP Paribas Open, Indian Wells, USA: March 1-15, 2026\nFrench Open, Paris, France: May 24 – June 7, 2026\nWimbledon, London, England\n: June 29 – July 12, 2026\nUS Open, New York, USA\n: August 31 – September 13, 2026\nLaver Cup, London, England: September 25-27, 2026\nSummer Games, Los Angeles, USA\n: July 19-28, 2028\nIf you would like to find the perfect tennis tournament for you, we’d be happy to help.

The best thing about the Summer Games tennis tournament is that fans can take in so many other incredible sporting events in one city surrounded by an incomparable atmosphere.\n\nTennis made its first Summer Games appearance at the inaugural event in 1896 but was later dropped in 1924. It returned in 1988 and has remained in the lineup ever since.\n\nSome of our staff, including Roadtrips President Dave Guenther and VP Jeff Wills, had the pleasure of witnessing the gold medal final at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris and described it as the best tennis they have ever seen.

The first is, of course, the tennis itself. This major tennis tournament attracts the top players in the world, and is a favorite with fans as well. It regularly draws over 400,000 fans with a [record 504,268 fans](https:\/\/bnpparibasopen.com\/news\/25-takeaways-from-the-2025-bnp-paribas-open) experiencing the tournament in 2025.\n\nAnother draw of the BNP Paribas Open is its location. The tournament refers to itself as [“Tennis Paradise”](https:\/\/bnpparibasopen.com\/news\/welcome-to-tennis-paradise\/) and it’s hard to argue that. The event takes place in Indian Wells, in the Palm Springs area of California.

It also boasts wonderful weather, the perfect spot for a late winter getaway.\n\n### **ATP Finals – Inalpi Arena, Turin**\nThe [ATP Finals](https:\/\/www.nittoatpfinals.com\/en\/) are another top tennis tournament. The ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) Finals date back to 1970, though it has gone through a few different names and versions since then. From 2009 to 2021 the tournament was held at O2 Stadium in London, before moving to its current location in Turin. The tournament features the top 8 qualifiers in men’s singles and doubles, wrapping up the ATP season.\n\nThe ATP Finals follow a different format than the grand slams, which use a knock-out\/bracket system. This event follows a group stage format. Each player is put into a group of four and plays each other player in his group. The top two from each group move on to a semi-final and then the championship final match.\n\n### **WTA Finals – King Saud University, Riyadh**\nThe professional women have their own major tournament to cap off their season.

For the 2025 tournament, the top eight women’s singles and doubles players will battle for victory and a share of the record [\\$15.25 million prize purse](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/WTA_Finals).\n\n### **Laver Cup – The O2, London**\nNamed after popular Australian tennis pro Rod Laver, the Laver Cup is a relative newcomer to the tennis scene. The inaugural tournament took place in 2017 and it has been held annually since then, with the exception of 2020.\n\nThe Laver Cup is a weekend tournament that pits players from Europe against players from the rest of the world. Each of the two teams (Team Europe and Team World) are comprised of six players: three that qualify based on their ranking and three that are chosen by team captains. Yannick Noah and Andre Agassi were the team captains for the 2025 tournament.\n\nThe location of the Laver Cup alternates between Europe and the rest of the world, with the 2026 tournament taking place in London.

Meta Description	Choosing the next professional tennis tournament to add to your must see list? The Roadtrips team take a look at nine of the world's biggest and best tennis tournaments.
Meta Canonical	null
Boilerpipe Text	The sport of tennis has been around for ages and its popularity seems to grow every year. Each season, the top tennis tournaments in the world draw in thousands of spectators who experience the incredible atmosphere surrounding these global events. These major tennis tournaments are some of the hottest tickets in sport, and offer fans the opportunity to see the world’s best tennis players live on the biggest stages. Along with the tennis action, there’s also a lot of history and tradition, unique to each tournament. If you’re wondering “What are the best tennis tournaments to attend?” we’ve compiled a list of nine of our favorites below. What are the Major Tennis Tournaments? The 9 Major Tennis Tournaments are: Wimbledon US Open Australian Open French Open Summer Games Tennis Tournament BNP Paribas Open WTP Finals ATP Finals Laver Cup What are the 4 Grand Slam tennis tournaments? The Grand Slam tournaments in tennis are: Wimbledon US Open Australian Open French Open What are the top 5 professional tennis tournaments? Our top 5 professional tournaments in tennis are: The Summer Games BNP Paribas Open ATP Finals WTA Finals Laver Cup Which top tennis tournament is the most prestigious? Most people would agree that Wimbledon is the most prestigious tennis tournament . Of the four grand slam tournaments in professional tennis (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open), Wimbledon always seems to attract the most attention. It seems to be a favorite major tennis tournament of the players too; American Sam Querrey notably referred to it as the best tournament , comparing it to golf’s iconic Masters. Best Major Tennis Tournaments to Attend Wimbledon – All England Club, London (Grand Slam Event) It only makes sense to start the list of top tennis tournaments with the most famous (and prestigious) tennis tournament in the world. Wimbledon dates back to the year 1877 when the first tournament was played on the grass lawns of the All England Club just outside of London, England. Wimbledon is still played on grass courts, one of many long-standing traditions of this historic tournament. Appearances by the Royal Family (and other celebrities), fresh strawberries and cream, and the famous all-white dress code are other traditions that have become associated with the tournament. One of the four major tennis tournaments (also known as grand slams), Wimbledon takes place over two weeks in early summer. It attracts a long list of the best tennis players in the world and has hosted some of the sport’s most iconic matches on the All England Club’s famous Centre Court. Each year, Wimbledon packages are among the most sought after in tennis. Thinking Wimbledon might be the one to build a trip around? Start with our guide to choosing the best Wimbledon travel packages before you book. US Open – National Tennis Center, New York (Grand Slam Event) The last Grand Slam of the season, the US Open is also the most famous professional US tennis tournament. The US Open was first played in 1881 as the US National Championship. What makes it one of the best tennis tournaments to attend? Well for starters, it offers a different and unique atmosphere than the other majors. It’s lively, fun, and exuberant, just like its host city, New York. This top tennis tournament takes place at the US National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, NY, though many fans will stay in Manhattan and take advantage of the city’s incredible dining, shopping, and entertainment when they’re not checking out the tennis. Just like Wimbledon, you’ll find no shortage of celebrity presence at the US Open. The US Open plays out each year in late August/early September and we think it’s the perfect way to wrap up the summer. Australian Open – Melbourne Park, Melbourne (Grand Slam Event) The first of the four major tennis tournaments on the calendar, the Australian Open is a bucket list event for fans around the world. It’s one of the largest sporting events in the Southern hemisphere and has taken place at Melbourne Park since 1988, though the tournament dates back to 1905. The Australian Open is played on a hard-court surface and has been dominated by Novak Djokovic in recent years. He’s won the tournament ten times since 2008, giving him the record of most singles titles at the event . As the first grand slam of the year, excitement is always high for this famous Melbourne tennis event and as one of the highest attended, it definitely makes the list of best tennis tournaments. French Open – Roland Garros, Paris (Grand Slam Event) The French Open is different from the other major tennis tournaments in that it is the only one played on clay courts. Clay is known to be a difficult surface to play on , due to the slower moving ball. Some players seem to excel on the clay, most notably Rafael Nadal , who won an incredible fourteen French Open Championships. One of the best parts about the French Open is the amazing city of Paris. There’s a reason it is regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in the world . With its charming cafés, amazing food, great hotels, and stunning architecture, it makes an ideal backdrop for one of the best tennis tournaments in the world. The 2026 French Open tennis tournament dates are May 24th to June 7th. With a history dating back 134 years, this tournament has been home to hundreds of memorable moments. The Summer Games – Los Angeles, USA The Summer Games is unique in that it’s more than just a major tennis tournament. The best thing about the Summer Games tennis tournament is that fans can take in so many other incredible sporting events in one city surrounded by an incomparable atmosphere. Tennis made its first Summer Games appearance at the inaugural event in 1896 but was later dropped in 1924. It returned in 1988 and has remained in the lineup ever since. Some of our staff, including Roadtrips President Dave Guenther and VP Jeff Wills, had the pleasure of witnessing the gold medal final at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris and described it as the best tennis they have ever seen. They were part of the rapt crowd that looked on as Djokovic finally won the gold medal that was missing from his storied career. The 2028 Summer Games are in Los Angeles, USA from July 26 to August 11th, with the tennis events taking place July 19-28th . The Summer Games tennis tournament will be played at the Carson Tennis Courts . When tennis fans aren’t checking out the tennis action, they can watch the best athletes in the world compete in 31 other sports or explore the incredible host country of France. BNP Paribas Open – Indian Wells Tennis Garden, Indian Wells There are many reasons we consider the BNP Paribas Open to be one of the top tennis tournaments. The first is, of course, the tennis itself. This major tennis tournament attracts the top players in the world, and is a favorite with fans as well. It regularly draws over 400,000 fans with a record 504,268 fans experiencing the tournament in 2025. Another draw of the BNP Paribas Open is its location. The tournament refers to itself as “Tennis Paradise” and it’s hard to argue that. The event takes place in Indian Wells, in the Palm Springs area of California. This stunning travel destination offers luxury resorts, world-class golf, incredible shopping and dining, high-end spas, and plenty to appease the nature lovers. It also boasts wonderful weather, the perfect spot for a late winter getaway. ATP Finals – Inalpi Arena, Turin The ATP Finals are another top tennis tournament. The ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) Finals date back to 1970, though it has gone through a few different names and versions since then. From 2009 to 2021 the tournament was held at O2 Stadium in London, before moving to its current location in Turin. The tournament features the top 8 qualifiers in men’s singles and doubles, wrapping up the ATP season. The ATP Finals follow a different format than the grand slams, which use a knock-out/bracket system. This event follows a group stage format. Each player is put into a group of four and plays each other player in his group. The top two from each group move on to a semi-final and then the championship final match. WTA Finals – King Saud University, Riyadh The professional women have their own major tournament to cap off their season. The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Tour concludes with the WTA Finals. The 2025 tournament will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Similar to the ATP Finals, the tournament is played as a group-stage/round-robin format, followed by the semi-finals and finals. For the 2025 tournament, the top eight women’s singles and doubles players will battle for victory and a share of the record $15.25 million prize purse . Laver Cup – The O2, London Named after popular Australian tennis pro Rod Laver, the Laver Cup is a relative newcomer to the tennis scene. The inaugural tournament took place in 2017 and it has been held annually since then, with the exception of 2020. The Laver Cup is a weekend tournament that pits players from Europe against players from the rest of the world. Each of the two teams (Team Europe and Team World) are comprised of six players: three that qualify based on their ranking and three that are chosen by team captains. Yannick Noah and Andre Agassi were the team captains for the 2025 tournament. The location of the Laver Cup alternates between Europe and the rest of the world, with the 2026 tournament taking place in London. It’s a fun event and it’s always played on an indoor court, or one with a retractable roof, so there’s no worry about getting rained out. Where is the next major tennis tournament? WTA Finals, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: November 1-8, 2025 ATP Finals, Turin, Italy: November 9-16, 2025 Australian Open, Melbourne, Australia : January 18 – February 1, 2026 BNP Paribas Open, Indian Wells, USA: March 1-15, 2026 French Open, Paris, France: May 24 – June 7, 2026 Wimbledon, London, England : June 29 – July 12, 2026 US Open, New York, USA : August 31 – September 13, 2026 Laver Cup, London, England: September 25-27, 2026 Summer Games, Los Angeles, USA : July 19-28, 2028 If you would like to find the perfect tennis tournament for you, we’d be happy to help.

The best thing about the Summer Games tennis tournament is that fans can take in so many other incredible sporting events in one city surrounded by an incomparable atmosphere. Tennis made its first Summer Games appearance at the inaugural event in 1896 but was later dropped in 1924. It returned in 1988 and has remained in the lineup ever since.

The first is, of course, the tennis itself. This major tennis tournament attracts the top players in the world, and is a favorite with fans as well. It regularly draws over 400,000 fans with a [record 504,268 fans](https://bnpparibasopen.com/news/25-takeaways-from-the-2025-bnp-paribas-open) experiencing the tournament in 2025. Another draw of the BNP Paribas Open is its location. The tournament refers to itself as [“Tennis Paradise”](https://bnpparibasopen.com/news/welcome-to-tennis-paradise/) and it’s hard to argue that. The event takes place in Indian Wells, in the Palm Springs area of California. This stunning travel destination offers luxury resorts, world-class golf, incredible shopping and dining, high-end spas, and plenty to appease the nature lovers. It also boasts wonderful weather, the perfect spot for a late winter getaway. ### ATP Finals – Inalpi Arena, Turin The [ATP Finals](https://www.nittoatpfinals.com/en/) are another top tennis tournament. The ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) Finals date back to 1970, though it has gone through a few different names and versions since then. From 2009 to 2021 the tournament was held at O2 Stadium in London, before moving to its current location in Turin. The tournament features the top 8 qualifiers in men’s singles and doubles, wrapping up the ATP season. The ATP Finals follow a different format than the grand slams, which use a knock-out/bracket system. This event follows a group stage format. Each player is put into a group of four and plays each other player in his group. The top two from each group move on to a semi-final and then the championship final match. ### WTA Finals – King Saud University, Riyadh The professional women have their own major tournament to cap off their season. The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Tour concludes with the WTA Finals. The 2025 tournament will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Similar to the ATP Finals, the tournament is played as a group-stage/round-robin format, followed by the semi-finals and finals. For the 2025 tournament, the top eight women’s singles and doubles players will battle for victory and a share of the record [\$15.25 million prize purse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTA_Finals). ### Laver Cup – The O2, London Named after popular Australian tennis pro Rod Laver, the Laver Cup is a relative newcomer to the tennis scene. The inaugural tournament took place in 2017 and it has been held annually since then, with the exception of 2020. The Laver Cup is a weekend tournament that pits players from Europe against players from the rest of the world. Each of the two teams (Team Europe and Team World) are comprised of six players: three that qualify based on their ranking and three that are chosen by team captains. Yannick Noah and Andre Agassi were the team captains for the 2025 tournament. The location of the Laver Cup alternates between Europe and the rest of the world, with the 2026 tournament taking place in London. It’s a fun event and it’s always played on an indoor court, or one with a retractable roof, so there’s no worry about getting rained out. ## Where is the next major tennis tournament?
