Why the Singapore Tennis Open matters in 2026
The Singapore Tennis Open runs in Singapore, Singapore from 21-27 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.
Play starts in 2 days, on Monday 21 September, with the main draw running through to Sunday 27 September.
