The 2022 Tallinn Open event was a professional women's tennis tournament played on indoor hard courts at the Forus Tennis Centre^[1] and held between 26 September and 2 October 2022. It was the first tournament in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA)'s history to be held in Tallinn, Estonia and was organized as a WTA 250 event on the 2022 WTA Tour.^[2]^[3]^[4]

The event was held for the first time, however, it was one of the six tournaments that were given single-year WTA 250 licenses in September and October 2022 due to the cancellation of tournaments in China during the 2022 season because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the suspension of tournaments in China following former WTA player Peng Shuai's allegation of sexual assault against a Chinese government official.^[5]^[6]
