Mallorca, Spain – October 2025 – The inaugural Vanda Pharmaceuticals Mallorca Women’s Championships presented by Ecotrans Group is not just a showcase for rising tennis talent, but also a significant financial and competitive opportunity for players on the WTA 125 circuit. The tournament, taking place from October 5-12, 2025, in Mallorca, Spain, boasts a total prize money pool of €100,000 for the singles competition, alongside valuable WTA ranking points.
The WTA 125 category, which has seen remarkable growth in 2025 with over 50 tournaments scheduled across the season and a circuit-wide prize money exceeding a record-breaking $6 million, provides an essential pathway for players aiming to climb the WTA rankings. Events at this level, like the one in Mallorca, typically offer total prize money in the range of $115,000–$200,000.

The singles draw at the Vanda Pharmaceuticals Mallorca Women’s Championships offers a tiered structure of prize money and ranking points, rewarding players for their progression through the tournament. The distribution for the singles competition is as follows:
- Winner: The champion of the tournament secures a substantial paycheck of €13,480. Crucially, the winner also earns 125 WTA ranking points, which is the maximum point total for a WTA 125 category event, aiding their ascent in the global rankings.
- Runner-up (Finalist): The player finishing second will receive €7,304 and 81 WTA ranking points.
- Semifinalists: Players reaching the semi-finals will each earn €4,608 and 49 ranking points.

This financial and points structure is vital for athletes at this stage of their career. WTA 125 tournaments, generally with a 32-player singles draw, serve as key opportunities for rising and established players to accumulate the necessary points to gain entry into the main draws or qualifying rounds of higher-level WTA Tour events (WTA 250, WTA 500, and WTA 1000). The clay surface in Mallorca adds another dimension to the competition, offering specialist clay-court players a prime location to boost their standing.
Tournament Details and Participants
The tournament is the first edition of the WTA 125 event held at the Mallorca Country Club facilities. It runs from October 5th to October 12th, 2025. The competition features a 32-player singles main draw.
The singles main draw includes several notable players. The top eight seeds are:
- Solana Sierra (ARG), ranked 78.
- Mayar Sherif (EGY), ranked 100.
- Darja Semenistaja (LAT), ranked 104.
- Panna Udvardy (HUN), ranked 111.
- Sara Bejlek (CZE), ranked 117.
- Oksana Selekhmeteva (RUS), ranked 125.
- Arantxa Rus (NED), ranked 126.
- Maria Lourdes Carle (ARG), ranked 129.
These seeded players, some of whom are in the top-100 of the WTA Rankings, underscore the competitive nature of the Mallorca event, as they vie for both the title and the significant ranking points. The depth of the draw includes players like Solana Sierra and Darja Semenistaja starting strong with victories in the Round of 32. Other players like Maria Lourdes Carle and Mayar Sherif also successfully navigated their opening matches. The competition also provides opportunities for local players through wild card entries (WC), such as Julia Stusek, Cristina Diaz Adrover, and Noma Noha Akugue.
The stakes are high for all competitors. For players like Solana Sierra (Seed 1) and Mayar Sherif (Seed 2), a deep run in Mallorca is key to maintaining or improving their position closer to the world’s top tier, while for others it represents a chance to make a substantial leap in the rankings and secure more financially rewarding appearances in future tournaments. The total prize money for the women’s singles event, while not the highest on the WTA 125 calendar, is a solid foundation, reinforcing the growing importance of the WTA’s developmental circuit.
