The ATP tournament in St. Petersburg (officially St. Petersburg Open ) is a tennis tournament that is held in the Russian city of St. Petersburg . The tournament, which is part of the ATP World Tour 250 , replaced the tournament in Saragossa in the event calendar of the ATP Tour . During the 2014 season it became known that the tournament was to be replaced by an ATP tournament in Tel Aviv , which was not held due to safety concerns; that's why the tournament in St. Petersburg has been part of the ATP Tour again since the 2015 season.
The venue was the SKK Peterburgski until 2015 . Since then the tournament has been held in the Sibur Arena ; The game is played indoors on a hard court.

Record winners in singles with two wins each are Thomas Johansson , Marat Safin and Andy Murray . In doubles, Nenad Zimonjić is the most successful player with three tournament wins .
