Tournament

Shanklin

The Shanklin Open was a men's and women's grass and hard court tennis tournament established in 1880 as the Shanklin LTC Tournament. It was held Shanklin, Isle of Wight, England and ran through until 1939 when it was abolished.

The tournament was staged continuously with the exception of 1915 to 1918 due to World War One, until 1939. In 1932 the edition was held jointly as the Isle of Wight Championships.

The original venue of the early editions of this event were at the cricket grounds of the Shanklin Cricket Club. The Shanklin Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club officially formed in 1883, then staged the tournament at Westhill Road, Shanklin Isle of Wight. In 1911 the club consisted of six grass courts and 3 asphalt courts, and a croquet lawn. This club changed name in the late 1920s to the West Hill Lawn Tennis Club.
