Charleston Open: Full list of winners

Chris Evert holds the record for most singles titles at the Charleston Open.

The Charleston Open is a WTA Tour-affiliated professional tennis tournament for women, held annually since 1973. It is the oldest professional all-women’s tennis tournament in the United States, with a prize purse of $888,636. In 2022, the tournament celebrated its 50th anniversary at the newly renovated Credit One Stadium in Charleston, South Carolina.

The tournament is played on green clay courts at LTP Daniel Island, including the 10,200-seat Credit One Stadium on Daniel Island in Charleston, South Carolina. From its inception in 1973 until 2000, the event was held at Sea Pines Plantation on Hilton Head Island, except in 1975 and 1976, when it temporarily moved to Amelia Island, off the coast of Florida. In 2001, the tournament relocated permanently to Daniel Island in Charleston.

The event held WTA Tier I status from 1990 to 2008, was downgraded to WTA Premier in 2009, and became a WTA 500 tournament in 2021. A second event that year was classified as a WTA 250. In 2012, the main stadium court was named after Billie Jean King to mark the tournament’s 40th anniversary.
