Guadalajara Open Tournament Evolution

The Guadalajara Open is still one of the younger tournaments on the WTA calendar, but Guadalajara had already established itself as an important women’s tennis destination before the event was created.

  • 2021: Guadalajara hosted the WTA Finals.
  • 2022: The Guadalajara Open was introduced as a WTA 1000 tournament.
  • 2024: The tournament moved from WTA 1000 to WTA 500 status.
  • 2026: Guadalajara stages its third edition as a WTA 500. For the first time, the main draw begins on Sunday and the singles final is played on Saturday.

Guadalajara Open 2026 WTA Draw & Bracket

Main Draw

The Guadalajara Open 2026 women’s singles draw contained 28 players.

Because this is a 28-player WTA 500 draw, the top four seeds receive first-round byes and begin their tournaments in the Round of 16.

The four players receiving byes were top seed Marta Kostyuk, defending champion Iva Jovic, Sara Bejlek and Diane Parry.

Four qualifiers and four main-draw wildcards completed the field. The tournament is played on outdoor hard courts at the Centro Panamericano de Tenis.

Seeded Players

  1. Marta Kostyuk
  2. Iva Jovic
  3. Sara Bejlek
  4. Diane Parry
  5. Janice Tjen
  6. Cristina Bucsa
  7. Magdalena Frech
  8. Liudmila Samsonova

Kostyuk entered as the No. 1 seed, while Jovic returned as the defending champion after winning the tournament as a 17-year-old in 2025.

Wildcards

  • Bianca Andreescu
  • Loïs Boisson
  • Sloane Stephens
  • Taylor Townsend

The wildcard group gives the draw considerable depth. Andreescu and Stephens are former Grand Slam champions, while Boisson was a Roland Garros semifinalist in 2025. Townsend was meant to arrive in Guadalajara after another strong US Open campaign, but she did not make it due to injury.
