The Sarasota Open is a professional tennis tournament played on green clay courts. It is currently part of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Challenger Tour. From 2022 through 2024, the event was held at the Payne Park Tennis Center in Sarasota, Florida, United States. Starting in 2025, the event is being held at the Sarasota Sports Club. It has been held at the United Tennis Center in Bradenton, Florida in its inaugural event (named Hurricane Open) in 2008[1] and in 2017.[2] Other locations were Longboat Key (2009–2014) and Lakewood Ranch (2015–2016). An expected move to Bath and Racquet Athletic Club near Bee Ridge and U.S. 41 fell through as the tournament was moved to United Tennis Center in 2017. After 2 years off due to the COVID-19 and owners changing, the Sarasota Open announced a comeback in 2022. Under new management, the tournament made another move from their previous location at Laurel Oak Country Club (2018–2019) to Payne Park in 2022.[3]

In 2025 a book was published about the storied history of the tournament titled, The Sarasota Open Experience.
