TheMadrid Open was a professional women'stennis tournament on theWTA Tour, held annually in Madrid, Spain, from 1996 to 2003. The event was played on outdoor clay courts at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid.
The tournament served as a direct replacement for theInternational Championships of Spain, which was held inBarcelona until 1995.
It commenced as aTier II event in 1996 before its classification was lowered to Tier III from 1997 through its final edition in 2003. The tournament was discontinued following the 2003 season, after which the WTA calendar saw the re-establishment of a new tournament in Barcelona in 2007.
