Hong Kong Open (tennis)
The Hong Kong Open (also known as the Salem Open[1]) is a defunct tennis tournament that was held in Hong Kong on the Grand Prix tour from (1973-1987) and the ATP Tour from (1990-2002). It was replaced in 2003 by the Thailand Open.
In 2001, as with legislation restricting tobacco sponsorship, organisers controversially altered its official logo to include the logo of Perrier, causing anti-smoking campaigners to claim that the organisers exploited a loophole in its sponsorship clause.[2]
Players competed in the Victoria Park Tennis Centre, on outdoor hard courts. A women's competition was also held briefly, from 1980-1982; and then once more in 1993, as a Tier IV event. Michael Chang held the record number of wins with three; Wendy Turnbull won two in the women's competition.
