The Rabat Open takes place between 19-24 May 2025 also known as Grand Prix Sar La Princesse Lalla Meryem with the Entry List set for the WTA 250 precursor to Roland Garros.
Last year saw Peyton Stearns crowned champion. As of time of writing, she is still in action in Rome but will head to Morocco to attempt to retain her title. She famously did a handstand lifting her trophy last year.
Defeating Mayar Sherif in the final who will return this year as third seed behind Stearns and also the top seed in Elina Avanesyan. The Armenian lost in the opening round of Rome to Elisabetta Cocciaretto.
She also lost in the opening round in Madrid so is not having a good clay court season so far. Her last win was against Erika Andreeva in Miami back in March so an important week awaits. Bogota champion, Camila Osorio no doubt will be one of the favourites too to lift the title.
While Alexandra Eala is pretty low down on the Entry List but the Filipino star will look to continue her exceptional start to 2025. Her Miami run in particular captured the imagination and she nearly beat Swiatek again in Madrid to show herself as a dual court threat.
She is teaming with Coco Gauff as of time of writing in Rome doubles and will hope for singles success when she returns to the court next week. It forms part of a double with Internationaux de Strasbourg which is a WTA 500. Both tournaments take place mere days before Roland Garros.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
