The Brighton International was a tennis tournament held in Brighton, UK. It was a WTA Tour event from 1978–1995 and an ATP Tour event from 1996-2000, upon the discontinuation of the women's tournament. The women's event was held in October.
It was competed on indoor carpet courts and was a WTA Tier II event prior to being removed from the tour. The men's event was held on outdoor clay in Bournemouth from 1996-1999, and in Brighton, on indoor hard courts in 2000.
Steffi Graf won the tournament a record 6 times. The only British winners were Sue Barker, who defeated Mima Jaušovec in 1981; and in the men's, Tim Henman, who beat Dominik Hrbatý in the final year of play.

Transcription
Brighton is a beautiful city with an amazing seaside, a small city, which reminds me of home. Brighton is a very nice area. I’ve been to the town square a couple of times. The Brighton Pier is very beautiful. There is a nice view there and I like the harbour very much. Brighton is an amazing city. It’s not very crowded and the atmosphere is really nice. People are very friendly and there are many places to visit. Very nice for sightseeing, and for tourists, and especially as a student. I really liked it here, it’s a very cool and relaxing place. When it’s sunny, it’s beautiful. It rains sometimes, but overall I really do enjoy it. In the first few days in Brighton I went to find some Chinese food. I love the fish and chips here. It tastes great! Five minutes on the bus from the university and you will go to this park, which gives you an amazing view of the university itself. I can go for long walks because it’s really beautiful and it helps you relax. There’s so many shops, so many restaurants, so much stuff to do. I still haven’t discovered everything yet and I hoping to discover more. Hopefully soon.
