Rotterdam Open: Full list of title winners

Jannik Sinner is the defending champion of the Rotterdam Open.

The ABN AMRO Open 2025 also known as the Rotterdam Open, a premier men’s tennis tournament on indoor hard courts, will be held at Rotterdam Ahoy in the Netherlands from February 3 to 9, 2025. Marking its 52nd edition, the event is part of the ATP Tour 500 series on the 2025 ATP Tour.

The first edition was held in November 1972 and was won by Arthur Ashe. The tournament was not held the following year as it changed date to March. Originally the Rotterdam Open was an event of the World Championship Tennis circuit and in 1978 became part of the Grand Prix tennis circuit. Since 1990 it has been part of the ATP Tour.

In 1984, the singles final between Ivan Lendl and Jimmy Connors was interrupted in the 2nd set (6–0, 1–0) due to a bomb threat, and the contest was eventually abandoned as Lendl refused to play. A record 115,894 people attended the 2012 edition tournament when Roger Federer returned for the first time in seven years.

This record was broken in 2018 when 120,000 fans attended after Federer accepted a wildcard into the event after a five-year absence. Arthur Ashe and Roger Federer are the only players to win the Rotterdam title thrice.

In 2023, Daniil Medvedev defeated Jannik Sinner in three sets to win his first title in the Netherlands. However, in the following year, the Italian avenged his loss against Alex de Minaur to triumph in straight sets.
