In September 2019, the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC) announced that they would invest in new grass tennis tournaments to be scheduled before the Wimbledon Championships on the ATP Tour and WTA Tour. Among the new investments included a WTA event planned for Bad Homburg with the collaboration of German sports agency Perfect Match as well as German tennis player Angelique Kerber and her management team, after which she would become the tournament ambassador.[1][2][3] The new stadium at the Bad Homburg Tennis Club was built on the site of the first tennis court in Europe, Kurpark, and in July 2020, Kerber christened the stadium at its opening ceremony.[4]
