The inaugural Singapore Tennis Open 2025, a WTA 250 tournament, will be held at the Kallang Tennis Hub from January 27 to February 2.
Tennis fever is set to return to Singapore in late January, when the inaugural Singapore Tennis Open 2025 is held at the Kallang Tennis Hub at the Singapore Sports Hub from January 27 to February 2. The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) 250 tournament will feature a 32-strong singles field, including British sensation Emma Raducanu – who won the 2021 US Open as a 19-year-old qualifier – 2020 Australian Open winner Sofia Kenin, and Russian world No. 14 Anna Kalinskaya.
Also in the singles draw are Belgium’s Elise Mertens and China’s Wang Xinyu, who are ranked 34th and 37th respectively. In July 2024, Kallang Alive Sport Management announced that it had secured the rights to host the WTA 250 event from 2025 to 2027 at the Singapore Sports Hub. Quek Swee Kuan, chief executive officer, Kallang Alive Sport Management, said in an earlier statement: “This WTA 250 event complements the vibrant sporting calendar at the Singapore Sports Hub and is a catalyst to further promote the sport locally and regionally.“We aim to bring the tennis fraternity, the wider community, and our junior and national athletes together to celebrate the sport through larger-scale activations, from try-outs to friendlies, that may be held alongside the tournament.” WTA 250 competitions are the lowest tier of annual women’s tennis tournaments on the main WTA Tour, after the Grand Slams, the WTA Finals, the WTA 1000 and 500 events. Singapore last hosted a top women’s tennis tournament in 2018, when stars like Naomi Osaka, Caroline Wozniacki and eventual winner Elina Svitolina competed at the WTA Finals at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. In 2021, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) also held an ATP 250 Singapore Open at the OCBC Arena. The Singapore Tennis Open will be the first major competition hosted at the Kallang Tennis Hub, which opened to the public in April 2024
