History

The Ilkley Open was first established in May 1885.[4] The winner of first men's singles event was Mr. E.W. Fletcher who defeated Mr. A.R. Atkinson. In 1886 the first women's singles event was won by Miss. Beatrice Wood who defeated Miss Lila Moir. (for this year only it was also valid as the East Yorkshire Championships). Ilkley Lawn Tennis Club also played host for Yorkshire Lawn Tennis Association tournament called the Yorkshire Championships four times (1888–90, 1893). From 1890 to 1968 the event went under the name of the Ilkley Open Lawn Tennis Tournament.[5][6]

In 1981 after a period of 95 years the final Ilkley Open was concluded. The final men's singles event was won by Geoffrey Paish who defeated Simon Ickringill, who is now the head coach at the Ilkley club.[7] In 1983 final women's singles title was won by Cathy Berry who defeated Michelle Collins.

Former winners of the men's singles included; Joshua Pim, William Drumond Hamilton, Major Ritchie, Andras Kalman, Mohammed Arif Ilahi, Hank Irvine and Geoffrey Paish. Former winners of the women's singles title included; Helen Jackson, Gem Hoahing, Shirley Bloomer, Rita Bentley, Robin Blakelock and Liz Starkie.
