Tournament History
The history of professional women’s tennis in Guadalajara is closely linked to the Abierto Zapopan, also known as Abierto Akron Zapopan for sponsorship reasons. The tournament, which is the direct predecessor of the Guadalajara 125 Open, has undergone several changes in its category over the years.
The inaugural edition of the Abierto Zapopan was held in 2019 as a WTA 125-level event, setting the stage for professional tennis at the Panamerican Tennis Center. The 2020 edition was unfortunately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the tournament returned in 2021 with a significant upgrade, becoming a WTA 250 event. This elevation in status reflected the growing interest and successful organization of the event, attracting a higher caliber of players.
The city’s reputation as a major tennis hub was further solidified when it was chosen to host the prestigious WTA Finals in 2021, a landmark event that brought the world’s top eight singles players and doubles teams to the city. Following the success of the WTA Finals, Guadalajara continued to host top-tier events, including the Guadalajara Open Akron, a WTA 1000 event in 2022 and 2023. These tournaments further cemented Guadalajara’s status as one of the most important stops on the WTA tour outside of the Grand Slams.
In 2024, the Abierto Zapopan reverted to its original WTA 125 category. This transition, alongside the hosting of larger tournaments, demonstrates the city’s commitment to providing a diverse range of professional tennis opportunities. The 2025 Guadalajara 125 Open continues this legacy, offering a crucial stepping stone for rising stars and a platform for established players to compete for valuable ranking points, further enriching the professional tennis landscape in Guadalajara.
Tournament Venue: Panamerican Tennis Center
The Panamerican Tennis Center (Centro Panamericano de Tenis) is the state-of-the-art facility that serves as the host venue for the Guadalajara 125 Open. Located within the larger Panamerican Sports Units complex in Guadalajara, this purpose-built tennis center was originally constructed for the 2011 Pan American Games. Since its inauguration, it has consistently proven to be an exceptional venue for major international tennis tournaments.
The center boasts a total of 12 hard courts, all equipped with floodlighting, allowing for matches to be played into the evening. The main show court, often referred to as the Estadio Akron during larger tournaments due to sponsorship, is a magnificent arena with a seating capacity of approximately 6,000 spectators. This main court provides an intimate yet grand atmosphere, allowing fans to be close to the action while enjoying excellent sightlines. The stadium features modern amenities, including comfortable seating, VIP boxes, and various food and beverage options, ensuring a premium experience for attendees.
Beyond the main stadium, several outer courts offer additional competition areas and practice facilities. These courts are also meticulously maintained, providing a consistent playing surface for all participants. The hard-court surface used throughout the facility is a common choice for professional tournaments globally, known for its durability and consistent bounce, which caters to a wide range of playing styles.
The Panamerican Tennis Center’s infrastructure also includes dedicated player lounges, state-of-the-art locker rooms, extensive physiotherapy and medical facilities, and media centers. These amenities ensure that players have everything they need to perform at their best, and that media personnel can effectively cover the event. The well-organized layout of the venue makes it easy for spectators to navigate between courts, access various services, and enjoy the overall tournament experience.
Its strategic location within Guadalajara also offers convenient access for both local and international visitors. The center’s consistent use for high-profile events like the WTA Finals, WTA 1000, and now the WTA 125 series, underscores its reputation as a world-class tennis venue capable of hosting tournaments of any scale. The vibrant atmosphere generated by passionate Mexican tennis fans further enhances the experience at the Panamerican Tennis Center, making it a beloved stop for players and a memorable destination for fans.

Tournament History
The Changsha Open first appeared on the international tennis calendar in 2019 as an ITF Women’s Circuit event. That inaugural tournament featured a strong field of emerging talents and established players vying for ranking points and prize money. Its return in 2025 as a WTA 125 event reflects the growing interest and investment in women’s tennis in China, and it provides a significant opportunity for players to compete at a higher level within the region. The upgrade to WTA 125 status means increased prize money, more valuable ranking points, and a higher profile on the international tennis circuit, attracting a more competitive roster of players.
Significance
The 2025 Changsha Open is a crucial event for several reasons. For players, it offers valuable WTA ranking points, which are essential for qualifying for larger tournaments and improving their standing in professional tennis. As a WTA 125 event, it bridges the gap between the ITF Circuit and the main WTA Tour, providing a platform for players to gain experience and exposure at a higher level. For the city of Changsha, hosting a WTA 125 tournament enhances its reputation as a sporting hub and promotes tennis within the local community. It also brings international attention and economic benefits to the region, attracting visitors and showcasing the city’s hospitality and infrastructure.
The tournament’s timing in early September places it strategically on the calendar, following the North American hardcourt swing and leading into the final stages of the WTA season. This positioning could attract players looking for additional clay-court matches or those aiming to accumulate points before the end of the year. The outdoor clay courts will present a unique challenge, favoring players with strong defensive skills, endurance, and strategic shot-making abilities.

The final list of players was subject to change as some top players’ participation depended on their performance in the qualifying rounds and the first week of the US Open.

Tournament History
The NÖ Open has a relatively short but impactful history on the ATP Challenger Tour. The tournament was founded in 2021, filling a void for a high-level professional tennis event in Lower Austria after a 16-year absence since the ATP tournament in St. Pölten ceased operations in 2005. The inaugural NÖ Open was a Challenger 80 event, with a prize fund of €44,820, and was successfully held at the Tulln Tennis Club. The first singles title was claimed by German player Mats Moraing, who defeated Hugo Gaston in a one-sided final. The doubles title went to Dustin Brown and Andrea Vavassori.
In its subsequent editions, the tournament quickly grew in stature and popularity among players and fans. In 2022, it was upgraded to a Challenger 90 event and saw Slovakian Jozef Kovalík lift the singles trophy. The 2023 edition was a Challenger 100 event, won by Czech player Vit Kopriva. In 2024, the tournament maintained its Challenger 100 status and was won by Jan Choinski of Germany. The NÖ Open has consistently attracted a strong field of competitors, including several players with ATP Tour experience and up-and-coming talent. It has established a reputation for its excellent organization, player hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere that fosters a close connection between athletes and the local audience. The tournament’s success has made it a reliable and anticipated stop on the ATP Challenger Tour calendar, particularly for players looking to gain valuable ranking points and match practice on clay courts in late summer.
Venue: Tulln Tennis Club
The NÖ Open is held annually at the Tulln Tennis Club (TC Tulln), a historic and well-regarded sports facility located in Tulln an der Donau, Austria. The club itself has a long and storied history, having been founded in 1903. Situated on Hafenstraße, the venue offers a picturesque and fitting setting for a professional tennis tournament, particularly given Tulln’s reputation as the “Garden City.”
The facility is equipped with a total of ten outdoor clay courts and four indoor courts with granulate surfaces. For the NÖ Open, a special show court is set up to accommodate a larger crowd, providing an intimate and engaging atmosphere for spectators. The venue’s infrastructure is praised by players and tournament staff for its quality and the welcoming environment. In addition to the main courts, the club provides amenities such as changing rooms, showers, and on-site food and beverage services. The central location of the Tulln Tennis Club within the city makes it easily accessible for both local and visiting fans. The club’s long-standing tradition of hosting tennis events, including the “Tournament for the Golden Rose of the City of Tulln,” which has been held since 1954, has provided it with the experience and expertise necessary to successfully host an international-level competition like the NÖ Open.

Tournament History
The Cassis Open Provence was established in 2018, taking over the ATP Challenger slot previously held by the Trophée des Alpilles in nearby Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Since its inception, the tournament has quickly gained recognition for its scenic location and strong player fields, often attracting both young, rising talents and seasoned veterans of the ATP Tour. The inaugural final in 2018 was an all-French affair, with a then-unheralded Enzo Couacaud defeating his compatriot Ugo Humbert. A notable moment in the tournament’s history came in 2019 when former world No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga won the title with a dominant performance, securing the quickest Challenger final victory at the time.
The tournament has also been a springboard for players’ careers. In 2022, Hugo Grenier’s victory in Cassis propelled him into the top 100 of the ATP rankings for the first time. The event has consistently attracted high-profile French players, with Benjamin Bonzi and Richard Gasquet among the recent champions. Gasquet’s win in 2024 at the age of 38 made him one of the oldest players to ever win an ATP Challenger title, adding to the tournament’s legacy. The Cassis Open Provence has been held annually since its creation, with the exception of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Venue
The Cassis Open Provence is held at the Sporting Club des Gorguettes, a tennis and padel complex located in the heart of the Gorguettes sports park in Cassis, France. The club has been a fixture in the local sports community since the tennis section was officially founded in 1981. The facility offers a picturesque setting with nine tennis courts, which have been renovated to include six resin courts and three synthetic turf courts, all meeting ATP standards. The venue’s modern infrastructure and scenic surroundings provide an ideal environment for professional tennis competition.
In addition to its main tennis courts, the Sporting Club des Gorguettes has expanded to meet the growing popularity of padel, adding a third padel court in late 2023. The club’s facilities also include a recently refreshed clubhouse and a reserved parking area, ensuring a comfortable experience for both players and spectators. The Sporting Club des Gorguettes has been the host venue for the Cassis Open Provence since its first edition in 2018, and its collaboration with the tournament has helped raise the club’s profile, making it a key destination for tennis enthusiasts in the region. The tournament’s free admission policy, from the qualifying rounds to the final, further contributes to the venue’s appeal, welcoming local fans to enjoy top-level tennis in a friendly and accessible atmosphere.

Past Champions

Tournament History
The Istanbul Challenger, also known as the Istanbul Challenger TED Open, is one of the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournaments in Turkey. It has been held annually since 1946, with only a few exceptions. Over its long history, the tournament has served as a proving ground for many future stars of the sport. Past champions and participants include numerous top-ranked players and Grand Slam winners, such as Nikolay Davydenko, Robin Söderling, and Karen Khachanov, who have all competed on the hard courts of the TED Club.
The tournament has also received international recognition for its high standards of organization. In 2003, during the Akbank Private Banking sponsorship era, the Istanbul Challenger was awarded the “ATP Challenger Award” for being the most successfully organized tournament among the 129 events on the tour that year. The award was presented by a then-up-and-coming Roger Federer, a testament to the event’s growing prestige. The tournament has been praised for its consistent quality and hospitality, which has helped it maintain its longevity and status on the ATP Challenger Tour.
The enduring success of the Istanbul Challenger is a source of pride for Turkish tennis. It has provided a vital platform for both international players to gain experience and for local Turkish players to test their skills against world-class competition. The tournament’s rich history and its commitment to excellence have solidified its position as a cornerstone of the ATP Challenger Tour and a highlight of the Turkish sporting calendar.
The Venue: TED Club Istanbul
The Istanbul Challenger is held at the historic TED Club, or Tenis Eskrim Dağcılık Spor Kulübü (Tennis Fencing Mountaineering Sports Club), in Istanbul, Turkey. While the club’s name suggests a wider range of activities, it is primarily renowned for its world-class tennis facilities. Located in the Tarabya district, the club has long been a central hub for tennis in the region, hosting both national and international tournaments.
Founded in 1901, the TED Club has a long and storied history as one of Turkey’s most prestigious sports institutions. Its roots are connected to the Turkish Education Association (TED), an organization established in 1928 with a mission to promote education and sports. While the TED Club has been a pillar of the community for decades, its modern tennis facilities, including its outdoor hard courts and a large center court with a capacity for 3,500 people, make it an ideal venue for a professional tennis tournament.
The club’s commitment to developing tennis talent in Turkey is evident in its long-standing partnership with the Istanbul Challenger. The club provides a welcoming atmosphere for players and fans, with its scenic location and a dedication to quality organization that has earned it praise from the ATP and players alike. The TED Club’s history and reputation for excellence make it a fitting and respected home for the Istanbul Challenger.

Tournament History
The Montreux Nestlé Open has a history that reflects its growth and increasing prominence in the world of professional women’s tennis. The tournament was founded in 2017 as an ITF Women’s Circuit event, initially offering a $60,000 prize fund.
Over the years, it established itself as a significant stop on the ITF tour, attracting a diverse range of players from around the world. In 2020, the tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Its success and consistent organization led to a major upgrade in 2024, when it was elevated to a WTA 125 tournament, a step just below the main WTA Tour events.
The 2025 edition marked the second year at this higher level, solidifying its place as the largest international women’s tennis tournament in Switzerland. The transition to the WTA 125 series brought an increased prize purse, more ranking points, and a higher level of competition, drawing more well-known players and elevating its status on the global tennis calendar.
Past champions include rising stars and established professionals, with former winners like Iga Świątek (2018) highlighting the tournament’s role in showcasing future talent. The 2024 champions, Irina-Camelia Begu in singles and the team of Quinn Gleason and Ingrid Martins in doubles, were a testament to the high-quality play that has become a hallmark of the event.
Tournament Venue
The 2025 Montreux Nestlé Open was held at the picturesque Montreux Tennis Club, a venue with a rich history dating back to its founding in 1890. Situated in the town of Territet, just outside of Montreux, the club is set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountains, providing a unique and beautiful setting for the competition.
The club features six outdoor clay courts, three of which are equipped with floodlights, allowing for extended play and evening matches. The red clay surface is a characteristic feature of European tennis, providing a challenging and strategic playing experience for the athletes. In addition to the courts, the venue includes a clubhouse and facilities to accommodate players and spectators.
Over the years, the Montreux Tennis Club has hosted significant tennis events, including 11 Davis Cup matches, and has been the training ground for notable Swiss players. The club’s long-standing tradition in Swiss tennis, combined with its idyllic location, makes it an ideal home for the Montreux Nestlé Open, contributing to the tournament’s special atmosphere and appeal.

Tournament History
The Guadalajara Open Akron tennis tournament has a unique and dynamic history for a relatively new event on the WTA Tour calendar. Its origins trace back to the city’s successful hosting of the 2021 WTA Finals, a top-tier event that showcased Guadalajara’s ability to organize a major tennis tournament. This success served as the catalyst for the Women’s Tennis Association to award the city a prestigious WTA 1000-level tournament, a move that filled a vacancy in the tour’s schedule.
Founded in 2022, the Guadalajara Open Akron was immediately recognized as one of the most significant events outside of the Grand Slams, attracting the world’s top players with its high-level status. However, this period of being a premier WTA 1000 event was short-lived. In 2024, the tournament was reclassified as a WTA 500-level event. This change was a direct result of the return of the Wuhan Open, which had been absent from the calendar and reclaimed its WTA 1000 slot.
Despite the reclassification, the Guadalajara Open Akron remains an important and highly-regarded tournament. As a WTA 500 event, it features a competitive field with a main draw of 28 singles players and 16 doubles teams. The singles champion receives 500 ranking points, which are crucial for players seeking to improve their standing in the world rankings. In 2024, the tournament’s commitment to excellence was evident in its substantial prize money, which exceeded $922,000, ensuring a compelling financial incentive for the athletes. The tournament continues to be held at the Centro Panamericano de Tenis on outdoor hardcourts, providing a familiar and popular venue for both players and fans.
The Venue: Centro Panamericano de Tenis

The Centro Panamericano de Tenis serves as the impressive venue for the Guadalajara Open Akron, and its history and design make it a standout facility in the world of tennis. Located within the larger sports complex, the venue was initially constructed for the 2011 Pan American Games, a major multi-sport event that cemented its reputation as a world-class facility. The stadium’s architecture is both modern and functional, providing an ideal setting for high-level tennis competitions. Its outdoor hard courts are known for their fast pace, which often leads to exciting and aggressive play, a favorite among fans.
The main court, named after the legendary Mexican tennis player, Estadio Panamericano, has a seating capacity of over 5,000 spectators, creating an intimate yet electric atmosphere during matches. In addition to the main stadium, the complex includes several other match and practice courts, allowing for multiple matches to be played simultaneously and providing ample space for players to warm up and train.
The design of the facility is such that it not only accommodates large crowds but also provides excellent sightlines from virtually every seat, ensuring that fans have an optimal viewing experience. The venue’s permanent infrastructure, including locker rooms, media centers, and hospitality suites, is a testament to its initial purpose as a host for major international events.
This legacy of hosting the Pan American Games and, more recently, the WTA Finals and the Guadalajara Open, has established the Centro Panamericano de Tenis as a premier destination for professional tennis in Latin America, celebrated for its modern amenities and a vibrant atmosphere.

Background
Brazil has a notable history of hosting WTA tournaments, including the Rio Open and the Brasil Tennis Cup in Florianópolis, both of which ran until 2016. However, a significant gap in the professional women’s tennis calendar in Brazil emerged after that year.
São Paulo last hosted a major women’s tennis event in 2000. This long absence spurred organizers, particularly the company IMM, known for organizing the ATP 500 Rio Open, to bring a professional women’s event back to the country. A series of WTA 125 tournaments in Brazil, including the MundoTenis Open in Florianópolis in 2023 and an attempt at a São Paulo tournament in 2024, set the stage for the announcement of the higher-tier SP Open.2“SP Open”. Wikipedia. Retrieved 12 August 2025
The Venue: Parque Villa-Lobos

Parque Villa-Lobos is much more than a simple tennis venue; it is a sprawling urban oasis that has been meticulously transformed from an industrial wasteland into a beloved public space. Located in São Paulo, Brazil, the park is a testament to urban renewal and a vibrant hub for culture, recreation, and community life. Its history is particularly inspiring, as it was created in 1989 on a site that was previously used as a rubbish tip and a dump for construction waste. The park’s name itself is a tribute to the renowned Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, a fitting honor for a place that now resonates with the sounds of nature and human activity.
The park’s infrastructure for the SP Open is seamlessly integrated into its natural surroundings. While temporary structures are often built to accommodate the crowds and specific needs of a professional tennis tournament, the setting itself provides a unique backdrop. The event’s hard courts will be set against a landscape of over 37,000 trees, which include species native to the Atlantic Forest. This green canopy offers a welcome contrast to the concrete jungle of São Paulo, providing a serene and fresh atmosphere for both players and spectators.
Beyond the tennis courts, Parque Villa-Lobos is a destination in its own right. It features a bird nursery, a musical island with an open-air amphitheater, and an elevated walkway that takes visitors through the treetops, offering a different perspective of the park’s lush environment. With a comprehensive network of walking and cycling paths, sports courts for various activities, and a dedicated library, the park fosters a sense of well-being and community. Its dual identity as a tranquil natural escape and a dynamic recreational center makes it an exceptional choice for the São Paulo Open, offering an experience that goes beyond the sport itself and celebrates the harmony of nature, culture, and athleticism.3“About Parque Villa-Lobos, São Paulo – Urban Oasis & Cultural Hub”. Nova Circle Technologies AB. Retrieved 1 September 2025

Announcement and Organization
The SP Open was officially announced on April 30, 2025, by IMM in partnership with the Instituto Carioca de Tênis (ICT). The tournament is scheduled to run from September 6 to 14, with the main draw taking place from September 8 to 14, following the US Open. It secured its spot on the calendar through a date leased from IMG and Mubadala Capital. The event will feature a 32-player singles draw and a 16-team doubles draw, and organizers have stated their intention to potentially upgrade its level in the future.

Venue

The center is known for its high-quality courts and is situated in a picturesque location within the city, making it a popular spot for both players and spectators. The Tivoli Tennis Center has a history of hosting professional tennis events, including both ATP Challenger and WTA tournaments.
Tournament History
The history of professional women’s tennis in Ljubljana is marked by several periods of play, hiatus, and changes in tournament status. The event was first established as a WTA Tour event, holding that status from 2005 to 2010. During this time, it was a prominent fixture on the WTA calendar, attracting a mix of established and rising stars.
After a hiatus, the tournament was revived in 2021 as a WTA 250 event. This signified a return to the main WTA Tour, bringing higher prize money and ranking points, and attracting a more competitive field of players. This elevated status, however, was short-lived, lasting only two years before the tournament’s category was adjusted.
Since 2023, Ljubljana has hosted a WTA 125 event. While a step down from the WTA 250 level, the tournament continues to be a significant platform for players to compete on the international stage. The shift to a WTA 125 event has solidified its place on the calendar as a vital part of the professional women’s circuit, offering a consistent opportunity for players to earn points and climb the rankings. The 2025 tournament marks the third consecutive year it will be held as a WTA 125.

History of the Tournament
The Città di Biella has a long and varied history in professional tennis, dating back to its first edition. Over the years, it has served as a stepping stone for many players who later achieved success on the ATP Tour. The tournament has had several editions and has been a consistent fixture on the Challenger Tour, although it has experienced some pauses in its history, including the period from 2022 to 2024.
The event is known for its outdoor clay court surface, which often attracts specialists in that discipline. Past champions have included both rising stars and established veterans. The 2021 edition, for instance, saw the singles title won by Federico Gaio, while the doubles trophy went to Tomás Martín Etcheverry and Renzo Olivo. The tournament’s return in 2025 was met with enthusiasm, as it provided another opportunity for players to compete and earn ranking points in the lead-up to the end of the season.

Player Field
Men’s Singles: Sinner Reclaims China Open
The men’s singles portion of the China Open 2025 concluded, with top seed and former champion Jannik Sinner reaffirming his dominance on the hard courts of Beijing. In a display of commanding form, Sinner defeated American teenager Learner Tien in a straight-sets final, 6-2, 6-2, to claim his second China Open title.
Sinner’s victory capped a stellar week for the world No. 1, who entered the tournament as a clear favorite. The Italian, who won the China Open in 2023, demonstrated why he is considered one of the most formidable players on the ATP Tour. His path to the final was not without its challenges, as he had to overcome a tenacious Alex de Minaur in the semifinals in a hard-fought three-set match, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2.
While Sinner’s victory was a testament to his consistent excellence, the tournament was also defined by a series of surprising results and impressive performances from rising stars. One of the biggest headlines was the unexpected run of 19-year-old Learner Tien. The young American, ranked No. 52 in the world, had a breakout tournament, reaching his first-ever ATP final after a stunning upset of Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals. Medvedev, seeded eighth, retired from their semifinal match with a score of 5-7, 7-5, 4-0.
Other top seeds faced mixed results. World No. 3 Alexander Zverev, who entered the tournament as the second seed, was defeated by Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals, 6-3, 6-3. Zverev’s loss was a notable upset, as he had been a strong contender for the title. The men’s draw also saw other key players exit early, with fifth seed Karen Khachanov losing in the first round. Rising star Jakub Mensik, seeded seventh, also had his run cut short, retiring from his quarterfinal match against Alex de Minaur.
The men’s final was a showcase of Sinner’s clinical efficiency. He broke Tien immediately in the first set and never looked back, outclassing the young American with a powerful and consistent performance. Sinner’s 21st career title and his third of the 2025 season (following victories at the Australian Open and Wimbledon) solidifies his position at the top of the men’s game.
Women’s Singles: Anisimova Crowned Champion

The women’s singles event at the 2025 China Open concluded, crowning a new champion in a final that was as dramatic as it was compelling. After a week of upsets and incredible performances, American star Amanda Anisimova has emerged victorious, defeating Czech Republic’s Linda Nosková with a final score of 6–0, 2–6, 6–2. The result marks a significant moment for both players and a dramatic shake-up in the final push for the year-end WTA Finals.
The women’s singles draw, which began with a staggering 76 direct acceptances and a breathtaking collection of 12 Grand Slam champions, lived up to its billing as a “who’s who” of tennis royalty. However, the 96-player field, which required a non-seeded player to win seven consecutive matches to take the title, proved to be a minefield for the top seeds. The tournament was defined not just by its champions, but by the surprising early exits of many of the sport’s biggest names.
Top seed and world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, despite her strong form at the US Open, was unable to secure her first China Open title. Defending champion Coco Gauff, fighting for crucial points to solidify her place in the WTA Finals, also faced an early exit, leaving the door open for a new contender. Former world No. 1s and Grand Slam champions like Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina, and Naomi Osaka all succumbed to the pressure of the demanding draw, highlighting the intense depth of talent on the tour.
The stage was set for an underdog story, and both Anisimova and Nosková delivered. Anisimova, known for her powerful groundstrokes, navigated the treacherous draw with remarkable consistency, taking down a series of formidable opponents to reach her first final of the season. Her opponent, the 20-year-old Linda Nosková, had an equally impressive run, displaying the aggressive baseline game that has marked her as a rising star.
The final match itself was a rollercoaster of momentum. Anisimova exploded out of the gate, playing flawless tennis to win the first set 6–0. It seemed as though she would cruise to the title, but Nosková mounted a stunning comeback, adjusting her strategy and hitting her targets to take the second set 6–2. The match was forced into a decisive third set, where Anisimova’s experience and grit shone through. She regained her composure, broke Nosková’s serve, and methodically closed out the final set 6–2 to claim the most significant title of her career.
The victory not only cements Anisimova’s return to the top echelon of the game but also has major implications for the race to the WTA Finals. While Sabalenka and Swiatek had already qualified, the points gained by Anisimova and Nosková will significantly alter the rankings for the final few spots. This China Open will be remembered as a crucial battleground, where the unseeded players proved they were a force to be reckoned with. On the domestic front, Chinese fans rallied behind Olympic Singles Gold Medallist from the Paris Games, Zheng Qinwen, along with Wang Xinyu and Wang Yafan. While they were unable to make a deep run, their competitive spirit on home soil was a testament to the growing strength of Chinese tennis.

History
The China Open has a rich history, with the first men’s singles and doubles events held in 1993 as part of a series of new ATP tournaments in Asia. The tournament was discontinued in 1998 but was reinstated in 2004, with the women’s event joining the calendar. In 2006, the China Open became the first tournament outside of the United States to use the Hawk-Eye electronic line-calling system. The event was not held from 2020 to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but returned in 2023.
The tournament has seen many legendary champions over the years. On the men’s side, Novak Djokovic holds the record for most titles with six, while Michael Chang won three consecutive titles in the tournament’s early years. Other notable men’s champions include Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, and Jannik Sinner. On the women’s side, Serena Williams, Svetlana Kuznetsova, and Agnieszka Radwańska are among the multi-time champions. The most recent women’s singles winner was Coco Gauff in 2024.

2025 Laver Cup
2025-09-19 - 2025-09-21 | Chase Center, 1 Warriors Way, San Francisco, CA, 94158, United States
The 2025 Laver Cup was a men’s tennis tournament that took place from September 19 to September 21, 2025, at the Chase Center in San Francisco, United States. It was the eighth edition of the tournament, which pits six of Europe’s top men’s tennis players against six players from the rest of the world. Named in honor of Australian tennis legend Rod Laver, the Laver Cup is a certified event on the ATP Tour calendar.
In a dramatic final day, Team World clinched its third title in the tournament’s history with a final score of 15–9, under the leadership of new captain Andre Agassi. They achieved the victory by winning four consecutive matches on Saturday and securing the final win on Sunday, with Taylor Fritz defeating Alexander Zverev to seal the championship.
Tournament Format and Scoring
The Laver Cup is a three-day tournament with five sessions in total: a day session and a night session on Friday and Saturday, and a final day session on Sunday. The local times for the sessions were 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. PDT on Friday and Saturday, and 12:00 p.m. PDT on Sunday.
Each day, the competition included both singles and doubles matches. On Friday, the day session featured two singles matches, while the night session had one singles and one doubles match. Saturday followed a similar format, with two singles matches during the day session and a single singles and doubles match at night. Sunday’s schedule started with a doubles match, followed by singles matches as needed to reach the winning score. The match lineups for each day were determined by the team captains and were announced the day before.
The scoring system is unique and designed to create increasing pressure as the tournament progresses. Each match win on Friday was worth one point, a win on Saturday was worth two points, and a win on Sunday was worth three points. The first team to accumulate 13 points out of a total of 24 available points wins the Laver Cup. If the points are tied at 12–12 after all 12 matches, a final overtime doubles match is played to decide the champion. All matches were a best-of-three-sets format with ad scoring. If the sets were split, a 10-point match tiebreaker was used to decide the winner. Every player had to compete in at least one singles match during the first two days. No player could play singles more than twice, and at least four of the six players had to play doubles during the three-day event.
An interesting aspect of the player compensation is that each player receives an appearance fee based on their ATP singles ranking. Additionally, each of the six players on the winning team receives a prize of $250,000 USD. No prize money is awarded to the losing team.
Team Captains and Rosters
This year marked a new era for the Laver Cup, as the event introduced new team captains for the first time since its inception in 2017. Legendary tennis player Yannick Noah took over as the captain for Team Europe, while another icon of the sport, Andre Agassi, took the helm for Team World. Supporting them were their respective vice-captains: Tim Henman for Team Europe and Patrick Rafter for Team World. The captains play a crucial role, not only in selecting players but also in determining the daily lineups, providing on-court coaching, and formulating strategies to help their team accumulate the 13 points needed to win the cup.
The team rosters were comprised of six players each. The three highest-ranked players from each region, based on their ATP singles rankings as of the Monday following Roland-Garros, automatically received an invitation. The remaining three spots on each team are “Captain’s Picks,” which could be announced anytime before the start of the US Open.

Tournament Venue
The Las Vegas Challenger is held at the Darling Tennis Center, a premier public tennis facility located in Las Vegas. The center features numerous outdoor hard courts, including a main stadium court, which provides an excellent setting for both players and spectators. The hard court surface is consistent with many top-level tournaments, offering a fast-paced game that tests the players’ all-around skills. The venue’s modern amenities and central location in the Las Vegas metropolitan area make it a fitting host for a tournament on the ATP Challenger Tour.
The Darling Tennis Center has a strong history of hosting both professional and amateur events. Its role as the venue for the Las Vegas Challenger since 2024 has solidified its place as a key location for tennis in the region. The tournament’s organization works closely with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) to ensure a high-quality experience for all participants, from the players to the local fans who come to watch rising stars and seasoned professionals compete.
History of the Tournament
The Las Vegas Challenger has a storied and somewhat intermittent history. The tournament was first established in the late 1990s and was held for several years before a hiatus. It was successfully revived in 2015 as part of the ATP Challenger Tour, providing a critical stop for players in North America. Since its return, the tournament has been held at different venues in the city, including the Frank and Vicki Fertitta Tennis Complex from 2015 to 2022, and more recently at the Darling Tennis Center.
The event was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was also not on the calendar in 2023. Despite these interruptions, it has maintained its reputation as an important tournament for players looking to gain ranking points and break into the top tier of the sport. Past champions include well-known players who have gone on to have success on the ATP Tour. The 2024 singles champion was American Learner Tien, while the doubles title was won by the American pairing of Trey Hilderbrand and Alex Lawson.
