Andreeva, Anisimova, and Eala lead an impressive draw in Singapore
An exciting week of tennis is approaching with the WTA 500 Singapore 2026 taking place from September 21 to 27. The Asian tournament will feature 28 players in a draw of 32 slots, meaning the top four seeds will receive a bye in the first round. This privilege will belong to Mirra Andreeva, Amanda Anisimova, Alexandra Eala and Elise Mertens, who are the favorites for the title.
It will be a crucial week in the battle for a spot at the WTA Finals 2026, a goal that both the Filipino and the Belgian still aspire to achieve, which is more challenging for Anisimova who needs to regain confidence and competitive rhythm. Meanwhile, Mirra Andreeva is the strong candidate to claim victory and take an important step towards securing a place in the event that will gather the eight best players of the season at its conclusion.
There will be great interest in seeing what players like Leylah Fernández or Maja Chwalinska can accomplish, as their media appeal is strong and they have high expectations for this final stretch of the season.
Alexandra Eala will be the main attraction at WTA Singapore
A separate chapter deserves Alexandra Eala, who will once again have enormous support from Filipino fans residing in Singapore. In recent days, she has given several interviews in which she noted, for example, that Serena and Sharapova are the players she has dreamed of facing and that she considers the American the greatest of all time. She also talked about her evolution this year.
"I am learning a lot about myself this year. There are things that I still don’t know how to manage, but I am facing them with courage and an open mind to learn from possible mistakes. What I am clear about is that I want to always be authentic and I must find my safe spaces that allow me to feel calm and happy," said the Filipino about the media pressure she feels and which she will experience again in this WTA 500 Singapore 2026.
