The Malaysian Open was a combined men's and women's professional tennis tournament played on outdoor hard courts that was originally founded the Malayan Championships.{{cite news |title=Lawn Tennis: Tournament Dates |work=Perth West Australian |publisher=Newspaper Archive |date=10 October 1928 |location=Perth, Australia |page=28}} The event has been held at the Bukit Kiara Equestrian & Country Resort and The Royal Selangor Golf Club. The tournament ran from 1921 to 1978. It was revived for a second time from 1992 through to 1995. It was staged for the third and final time from 2009 to 2018.

History

The first edition of the Malayan Championships was played in 1921 in Singapore. Women participated for the first time in 1925. In 1942 the event was suspended due to World War II and it resumed in 1948. On 16 September 1963 the country changed its name, from Malaya to Malaysia and the tournament became the Malaysian Open in 1964{{cite news|date=8 September 1964|title=Koura, 21, is new Malaysian champion|newspaper=The Straits Times|url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19640908-1.2.132.3|accessdate=23 October 2024}} (though only open to amateurs until 1969).

In 1992 the women's tournament was reestablished as the Malaysian Tennis Classic. It was competed on indoor hard courts in Kuala Lumpur. The tournament was part of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour, and was designated as a Tier IV event. Winners received $18,000. In both years it was held from 19 April to 26 April. The event was discontinued from 1993 onwards. In 1993 the men's tournament was revived as the Kuala Lumpur Open (aka Malaysia Salem Open) which ran until 1995. The men's event was played on hard courts in 1993 and on indoor carpet courts from 1994 to 1995. It was an event on the ATP World Series, replacing the Singapore Open for this period. Four Malaysian Players (V. Selvam, Mon S Sudesh, Martin. A and A. Lourdesamy) were banned for participating in the Bridgestone Open that was simultaneous with the Kuala Lumpur Open, as the Bridgestone Tournament wasn't sanctioned by the LTAM. Selvam's banned was lifted after two years by the LTAM.{{fact|date=January 2023}}

In 2009 the men's tournament was revived as the Proton Malaysian Open that ran until 2015 as an ATP World Tour 250 fixture. In 2016 the men's event was replaced on the ATP tour by the Chengdu Open. In 2010 the women's tournament was revived for the second time. Initially, the organisers operated with a license directly from WTA. However, later on they cut a deal for a lease of WTA Palermo's license in late-2013.{{fact|date=January 2023}}

In 2017, the Women's Tennis Association deleted reference to Israeli player Julia Glushko's nationality and Israel's flag from Glushko's profile on their website ahead of her scheduled participation at the Malaysian Open, when event organizers requested all references to her being Israeli be removed from the WTA website in order for her to be allowed to take part in the event.{{Cite web|url=http://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/israel-malaysian-site/|title=Israeli tennis player has flag taken off WTA site before Malaysian Open|website=Times of Israel|date=2 March 2017 }} The WTA subsequently reinstated them.

The last men's Malaysian Open was held in 2015 and the women's in 2017, after which, WTA Palermo returned to the tour calendar in 2019.{{Cite news|url=https://www.nst.com.my/sports/tennis/2017/11/300014/carbon-worldwide-pulls-plug-wta-malaysian-open|title=Carbon Worldwide pulls plug on WTA Malaysian Open|date=2017-11-06|work=NST Online|access-date=2018-05-15|language=en}} The event was affiliated with the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), and is an International-level tournament on the WTA Tour.{{cite web |title=WTA Kuala Lumpur, Alya Malaysian Open - Women's Singles |url=https://www.grandslamhistory.com/winners/wta/alya-malaysian-open-kuala-lumpur/womens-singles |website=www.grandslamhistory.com |publisher=Grand Slam History |access-date=7 January 2023 |language=en}}
