The Kremlin Cup (Russian: Кубок Кремля, romanized: Kubok Kremlya) is a professional tennis tournament played on indoor hard courts, which was suspended in 2022. It was part of the ATP Tour 250 series of the ATP Tour and was a Premier Tournament on the WTA Tour. It was held annually at the Olympic Stadium in Moscow, Russia from 1990 to 2018. In 2019, the Olympic Stadium underwent a reconstruction lasting two years.[1][2] The 2019 edition of the tournament was held at the Ice Palace Krylatskoye.[3] In 2021, the Kremlin Cup was played at the Irina Viner-Usmanova Gymnastics Palace and the Luzhniki Palace of Sports.[4]
Until 2007, it was held on a carpet surface. It was then held on RuKortHard surface until 2015.[5][6] Since 2016 the tournament has been held on TPSurface.[citation needed]
In light of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) suspended the 2022 Kremlin Cup.[7]
