The Brockenhurst Open[1] was a men's and women's grass court tennis tournament founded in 1914.[2] The event also known as the New Forest Open[3] was organised by the New Forest Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and played at the Brockenhurst Park Estate and House until 1939 when it was discontinued due to World War II.[1]
Brockenhurst Park Estate and House was purchased in 1769 by Edward Morant.[4] The house was renamed Morant Hall (also known as Brockenhurt Manor) which remained with the Morant family until the estate was sold in the late 1950s.[5] In 1914 the New Forest Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club staged its first tennis week of events known as the Brockenhurst Lawn Tennis Week.[1] [6] In 1915 World War I started and the tournament was suspended until 1921 when it was revived. The tournament ran annually until 1939 when it was discontinued due to World War II.[1]
