History

In 1929 the Cardiff Lawn Tennis Club Tournament was first held.[2] During the 1930s the event became known as the Cardiff Lawn Tennis Tournament,[1] or simply the Cardiff Tournament.[3] Following World War II the event was then known as the Cardiff Open Tennis Championships.[4]

This tournament was sometimes held in conjunction with the Glamorganshire Championships with winners of that tournament awarded joint titles.[1][5] In 1971 the tournament was part of part of the Bio-Strath Circuit where it was branded as the Bio-Strath Cardiff Open.[6] In 1972 Bio Strath did not renew its sponsorship of the circuit and the Cardiff event was dropped from the larger ILTF Independent Circuit. The tournament however did survive as a local event as late as the 1990s.[7]
