In 1922 the Sutton Coldfield Hard Courts Lawn Tennis Club was founded.
[4] It was staged annually until 1939 when it was suspended due to World War II.
The tournament did not resume until 1949 in part due to a lack of water still not available after the war to maintain its courts.
In 1950 it was rebranded as the Sutton Coldfield Hard Court Championships.
Sutton Coldfield Tennis Club is still active today.
