ATP Bordeaux

The Bordeaux Grand Prix was a men's tennis tournament founded in 1979 as the Bordeaux Open. It was the successor event to the Bordeaux International (1907–1969) played at the same venue. It was held annually under variations of the name including the Grand Prix Passing Shot and was part of the Grand Prix tennis circuit tour. It then became an ATP Tour event until 1995. The tournament was played on two different surfaces during its tenure: clay from 1979 through 1990 and hard from 1991 through 1995.
