Tallinn Open
The Tallinn Open is a tennis event held in Tallinn, Estonia. The first edition took place in October 2022.[1] Tallinn Open is part of the WTA Tour and is listed as a WTA 250 tournament. The tournament was introduced in 2022 as a result of the cancellation of WTA events in China due to the Peng Shuai sexual assault and disappearance controversy.[2] Estonia's top ranked player Anett Kontaveit played a major role in bringing the WTA event to Estonia after facing political resistance.[3]
