The South African Championships was one of the earliest and most prestigious tennis tournaments in South Africa, running from 1891 to 1995. Established during the late 19th century, it reflected the growing popularity of tennis and the tournament quickly became the premier national competition, attracting the best amateur players from across the country and occasionally international competitors. In its early years, the championships were played on grass courts, following the traditions of Wimbledon, with separate men’s and women’s singles, doubles, and mixed doubles events. Throughout the decades, the tournament showcased legendary South African players, including Abe Segal, Frew McMillan, and Johan Kriek, who helped place South African tennis on the global map. When it concluded in 1995, the championships left a rich legacy, honouring generations of players and contributing to the growth of the sport nationwide.
