São Paulo Open Tournament Evolution
The current São Paulo Open is one of the newest tournaments on the WTA calendar, although the city has a much longer history of hosting professional women’s tennis.
- 2000: São Paulo staged its previous WTA-level event before women’s tour tennis disappeared from the city for 25 years.
- 2025: The SP Open brought the WTA Tour back to São Paulo as a WTA 250 played on outdoor hard courts at Parque Villa-Lobos.
- 2026: The SP Open returns for its second edition with a 32-player singles draw, 16-player qualifying draw and 16-team doubles draw.

São Paulo Open 2026 WTA Draw & Bracket
Main Draw
The São Paulo Open 2026 women’s singles draw contains 32 players competing across five rounds.
Unlike the 28-player Guadalajara Open taking place during the same week, there are no first-round byes in São Paulo. Every player must win five matches to become champion.
The field includes direct acceptances and replacements, four wildcards and four qualifiers from the 16-player qualifying tournament.
Seeded Players
- Leylah Fernandez (withdrawal)
- Paula Badosa
- Solana Sierra
- Anna Blinkova
- Eva Lys
- Jessica Bouzas Maneiro
- Kaitlin Quevedo
- Alina Charaeva
Fernandez enters as the No. 1 seed, with former World No. 2 Badosa at the opposite end of the bracket as the No. 2 seed. Sierra and Blinkova complete the top four.
Wildcards
- Victoria Barros
- Nauhany Vitoria Leme Da Silva
- Gabriela Cé
- Carolina Meligeni Alves
Laura Pigossi had originally been announced as a wildcard but subsequently gained direct entry into the main draw. Her wildcard was transferred to Gabriela Cé.
Brazil therefore has five players in the published main draw before qualifying is completed: Pigossi, Barros, Silva, Cé and Meligeni Alves.
