The Stuttgart Open known as the BOSS Open (sponsored by Hugo Boss since 2022), is an ATP 250 professional tennis tournament on the ATP Tour played on grass courts. It was played on clay until 2014. Along with the move to grass, the tournament is now staged in the week following the French Open.

History

Held since 1916 in Stuttgart, Germany, prior to the beginning of World War II the tournament was known as the Championships of Stuttgart. Following the Second World War it was branded as the Stuttgart International Championships or the Stuttgart Weissenhof International.

From 1970 to 1989, the Stuttgart Open was a Grand Prix tennis circuit event. From 1990 to 1999, the Stuttgart Open was an ATP Championship Series tournament. The Championship Series name was changed to ATP International Series Gold in 2000, and the Stuttgart Open was a part of this series from 2000–2001 and 2003–2008. In 2002, the Stuttgart Open was briefly demoted for one year to ATP International Series status. The series were renamed to ATP Tour 250 in 2009, and the event has retained the classification ever since.

The Stuttgart Open has always been played outdoors, while the Eurocard Open was a tournament that was played indoors in Stuttgart from 1988–2001, with the exception of 1995 when it was played in Essen. The Eurocard Open was also the eighth Super 9 event on the ATP Tour from 1995–2001.

Until 2021 under the sponsorship of Mercedes-Benz, the tournament champions were awarded a Mercedes car, in addition to the prize money.
