78th Istanbul Challenger TED Open

Istanbul will welcome one of its most established tennis traditions on September 5–13, 2026, as the 78th Istanbul Challenger TED Open takes place at TED Sports Club in Tarabya. With professional tennis matches and special appearances by tennis legends such as Cédric Pioline, the tournament will bring sporting heritage, international competition, and classic Istanbul atmosphere together on the Bosphorus line.

The TED Open carries a different kind of weight. A tournament reaching its 78th edition is not only a competition; it is part of a city’s sporting memory. On court, players will compete for momentum, ranking progress, and the next step in their professional careers. Around the event, fans will feel the history of Turkish tennis, the prestige of TED Sports Club, and the rare charm of watching a tournament in one of Istanbul’s most elegant coastal districts.

Tarabya will make the week feel especially refined. Between matches, visitors can follow the Bosphorus north through Yeniköy, İstinye, Emirgan, and Sarıyer; take long waterside walks; enjoy seafood by the coast; or simply let the September light soften the whole city. Even if you are not playing, you will still want to be here—because the Istanbul Challenger TED Open will turn Tarabya into a tennis week shaped by tradition, Bosphorus air, professional ambition, and the quiet elegance of Istanbul’s northern shoreline.
