An Open in sports terminology refers to a sporting event or game tournament that is open to all people, regardless of their age or ability. Opens are usually found in golf, tennis, and chess.

You are rated in tennis on a number scale 1.0 1.5 2.0 ....all the way to 7.0. Anything above a 5.0 tournament is considered an Open. Also, anyone can qualify to play in an Open tournament, even Amatures.

Tennis involves a large field of players unlike basketball, soccer, or baseball. Golf also has opens like tennis because of the comprehensive number of players who have a chance to win.

Not all end with the word open.
It just means that any one can play it.
Like the U.S. Open. A Kid from highschool can play it, but they have to get thru a qualifying round before playing what you see on T.V.

I think it refers to the fact that the player is not representing any country. And you can have multiple players from the same country.
