Chile Open History and Previous Winners
History
The Chile Open has a long convoluted history in the ATP, dating as far back as almost a century ago. The first-ever edition of the current Chile Open was held in 1993, 30 years ago, by 2 brothers in the city of Santiago. Since then, the event has alternated between Vina del Mar, another city in Chile, and Santiago. But even before this current iteration, the Chilean Open, which was the predecessor to the Chile Open was held for 6 years between Santiago and Vina del Mar from 1976-1983. The event was discontinued in 2014 and moved to Ecuador. Only recently; in 2020, did the event return to Chile at Santiago.
