A Roland-Garros winner, a defending champion and a regional favorite now know their paths at the 2026 Singapore Tennis Open. The draw, revealed on Saturday, sets up a stacked week of WTA 500 action.

The tournament runs Sept. 21-27 at OCBC Arena in The Kallang, after weekend qualifying. It is Southeast Asia’s only WTA 500 event following an upgrade from WTA 250 status.

Singapore Tennis Open 2026 Singles Draw: Andreeva, Anisimova, Eala

Top seed Mirra Andreeva, the world No. 5, is the only top-10 player in the field. The Roland-Garros champion will meet Daria Kasatkina or Aliaksandra Sasnovich first, with Leylah Fernandez a possible obstacle later.

Defending champion Elise Mertens, the fourth seed, could face fifth seed Maja Chwalińska or two-time major winner Barbora Krejčíková before the semifinals. Mertens won the 2025 title, beating Ann Li 6-1, 6-4 in the final.

Second seed Amanda Anisimova, ranked No. 11, and third seed Alexandra Eala, ranked No. 18, headline the bottom half. If both advance, a semifinal meeting awaits, though Eala must first clear a quarter that may include Donna Vekić.

Anisimova starts against Fiona Ferro or Talia Gibson, with former top-10 player Maria Sakkari a possible blockbuster test. Eala arrives after winning her first tour-level title at the WTA 500 DC Open, beating Jessica Pegula in the final.
