History

The men's tournament was created in 1990 and has been won by several top-10 players, including former world No. 1 playersThomas Muster(1995and1996),Carlos Moyà(2000),Juan Carlos Ferrero(2001),Novak Djokovic(2007), andRoger Federer(2008). Also,Marat Safinlost the2004final andYevgeny KafelnikovandGustavo Kuertenwon the doubles tournament in 1995 and1997,respectively. The men's half was part ofATP World Tour 250 seriestournaments.

The women's tournament started in 1989 as theEstoril Ladies Openand was in its first two years, a separate event. After being discontinued in 1990, the event returned as a part of theEstoril Openin 1998, starting as anITFtournament. In the following year it became aWTAtournament again. The women's tournament is currently anInternational Series tournament.No former world No. 1 has ever won the women's tournament butVictoria Azarenkawas runner-up in2007.

Statistically, the men's tournament highlights the dominance of Argentine and Spanish male players on red clay. Between 1990 and 2001, at least one Spaniard appeared in the final ten times, with a player from Spain claiming the title in nine of those twelve years. The Spanish dominance waned in recent years. Since 2001, there have only been three Spaniards in four finals with two victories. Between 2002 and 2006, an Argentine made the final at Estoril, winning four of these five titles. The Argentine streak returned in 2011 with the first of three more victories in four years.

The roll of champions on the women's side is more diverse. Twelve of the seventeen different champions have represented a nation that had not previously won it. Despite this, Spain is still, although slightly, the most dominant nation. The women's tournament is a popular spot for players to win their first title; since it became a WTA event again in 1999, six players have used it to win their maiden title. In 2006, it showcased the first all-Chinese final in tour history, betweenZheng JieandLi Na.

Only one Portuguese player has reached the final in either the men's or the women's event:Frederico Gil,the losing men's finalist in 2010.

In 2013, the organization of the tournament changed its name to "Portugal Open" in order to present the tournament as a Portuguese well-organized event.
