Home/Previews/Japan Open

The Japan Open returns to Tokyo, Japan for its 2026 edition, played from 30 Sep – 6 Oct on Hard.

What's at stake in 2026

As a 500-level event, the winner takes home 500 ranking points. These tournaments fill the gaps between the Masters and Slams, and are where players rebuild form, defend points, or run up an early-season title streak.

The Japan Open starts in 146 days. The draw lands a few days before the first ball is struck and lands here as soon as it is set.

The conditions

Hard court is the global default, medium-paced, true-bouncing, tactically neutral. In Tokyo form, fitness and serve quality usually decide who goes deep, more than any quirk of the surface.
