Opens are for amateurs - see the golf open tournaments as well. Its kind of like open enrollment

The tennis Grand Slams used to be for amateurs only (I think the Olympics were the same). Professionals used to be looked down on as selling out to money etc.

Eventually tournaments became Open as they also allowed pros in.

My bad I thought the opens were amateur and professionals. I.e. giving the amateurs a chance to take on the pros.
