SUMMARY:2026 Philippine Women's Open
DESCRIPTION:Updated on August 8\, 2026\n\n\nThe 2026 Philippine Women’s Open stood as a historic milestone in Southeast Asian sports\, serving as the first-ever WTA-sanctioned tournament to be held in the Philippines. Officially designated as a WTA 125 event\, the tournament functioned as a vital bridge between the ITF Circuit and the main WTA Tour\, offering crucial ranking points and a significant prize purse to both rising stars and established professionals. \n\n\n\nOrganized through a joint effort by the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) and the Philippine Tennis Association (PHILTA)\, the event underscored the country’s successful bid to become a premier destination for world-class tennis. The inaugural edition concluded on January 31\, 2026\, cementing Manila’s place on the global tennis calendar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTournament Profile & Key Facts\n\n\n\nFeatureDetailOfficial NamePhilippine Women’s OpenInaugural Year2026Tournament LevelWTA 125VenueRizal Memorial Tennis CenterLocationMalate\, ManilaSurfaceOutdoor Hard CourtDraw Size32 Singles / 16 DoublesTotal Financial Commitment$115\,000 (approx.

For years\, Filipino fans traveled abroad to witness WTA-level competition; the debut of this tournament in January 2026 finally brought that caliber of play to Manila. \n\n\n\nThe acquisition of the sanction came during a tennis renaissance fueled by the success of Alexandra “Alex” Eala\, the first Filipina to win a junior Grand Slam and a main-stay in the WTA Top 100. Eala was the centerpiece of the 2026 draw\, reaching the quarterfinals before falling to eventual champion Camila Osorio in a hard-fought match that drew record crowds to the Rizal Memorial. \n\n\n\nThe event’s slot—the final week of January—placed it concurrently with the second week of the Australian Open. This strategic positioning allowed the tournament to attract a high-quality field\, including players seeking competitive rhythm in the Asia-Pacific region before the tour shifted to the Middle East and the Americas. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue: The Historic Rizal Memorial\n\n\n\nThe tournament was staged at the Rizal Memorial Tennis Center\, a facility steeped in Philippine sporting lore. To meet the strict standards of the Women’s Tennis Association\, the PSC completed extensive renovations prior to the 11th-hour debut. \n\n\n\n\nCourt Resurfacing: The facility featured international-standard hard courts with premium acrylic surfacing.\n\n\n\nModernized Lighting: Upgraded LED floodlights facilitated evening “show court” matches\, which became the tournament’s most-watched sessions.\n\n\n\nAtmosphere: The refurbished grandstands\, with a seating capacity of over 2\,000\, were consistently filled with local fans who affectionately dubbed the international stars “Ate” (Big Sister) and “Tita” (Auntie).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrize Money and Ranking Points Distribution\n\n\n\nThe 2026 edition distributed a total financial commitment of $115\,000. Beyond the monetary rewards\, the tournament provided a significant boost to the world rankings of the participants. \n\n\n\nFinal 2026 Points & Prize Money Breakdown: \n\n\n\nFinishSingles PointsSingles Prize Money ($)Doubles Points (Per Team)Doubles Prize Money ($)Winner125$15\,500125$6\,000Finalist81$8\,40081$4\,300Semifinalist49$5\,30049$2\,600Quarterfinalist27$3\,45027$2\,000Round of 1615$2\,0001$1\,000Round of 321$1\,200——\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChampions Roll of Honor\n\n\n\nThe inaugural finals took place on Saturday\, January 31\, 2026\, featuring high-intensity matches that pushed the athletes to their physical limits. \n\n\n\nSingles Champion\n\n\n\nCamila Osorio (Colombia) became the first-ever singles champion of the Philippine Women’s Open. In a grueling final that lasted over two and a half hours\, the fifth-seeded Osorio overcame a sluggish start to defeat fourth seed Donna Vekić (Croatia). Osorio’s comeback was punctuated by a dominant second set and a gritty third-set performance\, where she broke Vekić at 5-5 before serving out the match with an ace. \n\n\n\nYearChampionRunner-UpScore2026Camila Osorio (COL)Donna Vekić (CRO)2–6\, 6–3\, 7–5\n\n\n\nDoubles Champions\n\n\n\nThe doubles crown was claimed by the second-seeded duo of Eudice Chong and Liang En-shuo.
