WTA Brasil Open

The WTA Brasil Open was founded in 1977 as the successor event to the earlier Brazilian International Championships (1932–1969).

Although the WTA itself currently does not acknowledge many of these tournaments to be new editions of one larger tournament, a part of historians, the press, and the media, see them as only one tournament despite changes in names, cities, surfaces, and various hiatus.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]
