The 2025 Guadalajara Open Akron tournament is the first stop on the WTA calendar after the US Open, taking place from September 8-14, 2025. Although hosted in Guadalajara, Mexico, the tournament can be viewed live in various locations.
A WTA 500 event, the Guadalajara Open will feature several of the WTA's brightest stars in it's singles field, which consists of 28 players. Doubles specialists will also be represented, as 16 teams will battle it out for the prestigious title.
American Emma Navarro was the top seed at the event, with the World No.11 hoping to showcase some of her talent after a subpar performance during the North American hard court season. The 24-year old fell in the opening rounds in Washington, Cincinnati and Monterrey this summer, with the US Open being her only hope at redemption.
Former US Open runner-up Leylah Fernandez, a fan-favorite at the event also was hoping to continue her brilliant form on hard courts this summer. The Canadian stormed to the title in Washington, and has looked more like the player who reached the final at Flushing Meadows four years ago. Albeit both have since withdrawn in a hammer blow to the event.

Greek star Maria Sakkari, who won the event in 2023, has struggled to maintain her form this season. The 30-year is still a threat when she's on top of her game, and will hope to revert to her winning ways in Guadalajara.

Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.
