One of the saddest news for tennis fans was finding out that in 2025, the Estoril tournament would not take place due to the calendar reorganization. There is less and less space for events of this caliber and, despite its brilliant history, the Portuguese event was losing its status. However, there has been an exhaustive fight to change this, and what has been achieved is that in 2025, an ATP Challenger 175 will be held, so that in 2026 and 2027, an ATP 250 will be played again. A success for the Portuguese authorities.
Great news for the Estoril Open, which will continue on the calendar in 2025 as a Challenger 175 and then back to ATP 250 in 2026.
