Guadalajara Open 2026, where to watch and live stream

The Guadalajara Open runs in Guadalajara, Mexico from 13-19 Sep, played on medium-paced hard court. Bounces and pace sit between clay and grass, which rewards all-court players who can defend, attack and serve in roughly equal measure. It is an ATP 500 / WTA 500, a second-tier event that helps shape the seedings around the next Slam. The singles champion takes 500 ranking points, and a serious slice of the season prize pool.

The 2026 edition has wrapped. The full results sit below; the recap and the 2027 dates are above.

Hard courts sit between clay and grass for pace and bounce. The ball travels at a medium speed, the bounce is true, and the surface is friendly to all-court games. Net play, baseline grinding, and serve-and-volley all have a place on hard, which is why this surface produces the deepest variety of winners across the year.

Tactically hard-court tennis usually comes down to depth control. The player who consistently lands the ball in the back third of the court forces errors out of opponents who are forced to swing harder for less margin. Lateral movement matters more than on grass and less than on clay, and the third-shot pattern after the serve becomes the defining tactical decision in every break-point rally.
