On behalf of the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Singapore Tennis Open presented by BNP Paribas, which this year is celebrating its debut season as a prestigious WTA 500 event.

All the stars will collide at the Singapore Tennis Open (21-27 Sept): The established ones and the ones wanting to take their spot. In what’s gearing up to be a week of high-level entertainment at the OCBC Arena, some of the biggest movers and shakers of the 2026 season will fight for the title in the event’s return to The Kallang as a WTA 500.

From Grand Slam champions and Asian tennis legends to rising talents like Alexandra Eala and Janice Tjen, explore the evolution of women’s tennis in Asia and the growing importance of the region on the global WTA calendar. Find out why the Singapore Tennis Open 2026 is set to be another significant chapter for the sport in Singapore.

The Singapore Tennis Open (STO), the top professional women's tennis tournament in the region, is entering an exciting new chapter in 2026. Following Singapore's successful return to the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour calendar last year, the tournament has been upgraded from WTA 250 to 500 status. Singapore has had a long history with women’s tennis, stretching back to 1986 when the Singapore Women’s Open took place, and then with the WTA Finals from 2014 to 2018, where the WTA Tour’s crown jewel event featured the top eight players of the year at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

State Property, the Singapore-founded fine jewellery brand whose creations have been worn by public figures such as Michelle Obama, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift, has long established itself for bringing exceptional craftsmanship to the global stage. Now, the brand is bringing that same artistry to a distinctly Singaporean commission — designing the Singapore Tennis Open trophy.

Singapore’s premier sports, entertainment, and lifestyle hub is getting a futuristic tech upgrade. The Kallang Group has officially announced a landmark five-year strategic partnership with Deloitte Singapore, aimed at transforming Singapore's iconic precinct into a fully connected, next-generation lifestyle destination. Powered by cutting-edge innovation and data-driven insights, this collaboration is set to redefine how visitors experience live events, sports tournaments, community gatherings, and entertainment offerings in the heart of Singapore.
