Established in 1972, the Japan Open is the longest running tournament in Asia. 

It's staged at the Ariake Colasseum, with the Centre Court one of the first to be fitted with a retractable roof, while there's a total of 48 courts within the enormous complex.

The tournament is played on hardcourt and features a 32-player draw in singles and 16-player draw in doubles.

The Japan Open is consistently one of the biggest drawcards for fans during the Asian Swing, with players not only competing for the ATP 500 title, but also attempting to pick up valuable points in the race to qualify for the season-ending ATP Finals in Turin.

As a result, top 10 and top 20 players repeatedly return to Tokyo in a bid to secure points, with only the top eight-ranked men for the season qualifying for the finals.

Some of the best players of all time have reigned supreme at the Japan Open throughout history, with the likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Pete Sampras, John McEnroe, Stefan Edberg and Ivan Lendl winning the title.
