Why the Millennium Estoril Open matters in 2026
The Millennium Estoril Open runs in Estoril, Portugal from 20–26 Jul, played on slow red clay. Bounces sit higher than on any other tour surface and rallies run longer, which suits heavy topspin and punishes flat hitters. It is an ATP 250 event. The singles champion takes ranking points and prize money, and a useful chunk of the season prize pool.
Play starts in 78 days, on Monday 20 July, with the main draw running through to Sunday 26 July.
