Definition: Open Sets in Metric Spaces

Let \((X,d)\) be a metric space. A subset \(U\subseteq X\) is open, if for each \(x\in U\) there exists \(\epsilon > 0\) such that the open ball is contained in \(U\): \[B(x,\epsilon)\subset U,\] i.e. if \(U\) it is the neighborhood of any of its points. Please note that, by definition, every open ball \(B(x, r)\) is open.
