WTASaturday, 12 September 2026 at 20:08
The Guadalajara Open Akron is due to take place between 13-19 September and is a WTA 500 in the immediate aftermath of the US Open with Iva Jovic as the returning defending champion.
It is a stacked field not only in the main line-up but also the wildcards with Jovic joined by Marta Kostyuk, Sara Bejlek, Diane Parry, Janice Tjen, Cristina Bucsa, Magdalena Frech and Liudmila Samsonova.
But wildcard wise it is Bianca Andreescu, Lois Boisson, Sloane Stephens and Taylor Townsend. Initially Maja Chwalinska, Anna Kalinskaya, McCartney Kessler, Ashlyn Krueger, Camila Osorio, Antonia Ruzic and Mayar Sherif were due to play but such is the way surrounding the post US Open swing that both are out.

- I love WTA matches. Seek them out as much as possible on youtube and other platforms I already subscribe to. With that in mind, I do not wish to pay $$$ to a notoriously slippery subscription conglomerate sports broadcaster (like SkySports) just for the privilege to watch it and the tnt/eurosport/discovery subscription went from $$ to $$$+ annually in a blink of an eye. With ATP I have been begrudgingly paying xyz tennis only channel and try to catch up on slams elsewhere (pubs, youtube with USO later on games are just as enjoyable to watch and a smart move to upload on their official channel) but they don't cover WTA. I tried another Tennis dedicated channel that advertised originally as broadcasting where I live, but turned out, they took the money, but didn't cover the matches (only fluff/filler value documentaries). I don't understand why it is so hard to not lock the live matches to one broadcaster only refusing so many people who are happy to pay for the privilege just not through that one entry point. WTA is so exciting for the last few years and they really should capitalise on it as much as possible. And I know it is somewhat naive talking without knowing the inner works, but not being able to find any WTA other than youtube (and then only highlights mostly) is just so frustrating.JayJay11-09-2026

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
- Looks like tennis has become a part of the American Oligarchy. As usual, Pegula is given a cupcake draw. With all her money, they have to fixed the draws in her favor in order to raised the trophy.crissy09-09-2026
