Tennis in the Land is due to take place between August 17-25 also known as the Cleveland Open. It is available to watch worldwide in most territories including the US, UK and Australia.
The inaugural event took place back in 2021 which saw Anett Kontaveit winning the singles title. In 2023 the tournament shifted to become Topnotch Stadium, a temporary venue seating 2,000 fans replacing the main court. That year, Sara Sorribes Tormo entered as a lucky loser capturing the title in a dramatic run.
By 2023, it became one of only three standalone WTA events in the US generating over $2million in economic impact drawing a record attendance. In 2024, American wildcard McCartney Kessler won her first WTA singles title in Cleveland knocking out top seed Beatriz Haddad Maia in an exciting final.
This year sees Liudmila Samsonova as top seed. Xinyu Wang is the second seed. Maya Joint is third seed and opens up against Eva Lys with the draw now complete. Lois Boisson returns as fifth seed after winning a title post her Roland Garros rrun.
Sonay Kartal, Katie Boulter and Hailey Baptiste are also among the leading seeds over the next week in Cleveland in what is the final run towards the US Open. It takes place in the same week as Monterrey which is a WTA 500 tournament. While in the ATP, it is Winston-Salem Open which takes place which has a similar footing on the ATP 250 schedule.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!mandoist09-11-2026
- "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?mandoist09-11-2026
- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026
- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026

- 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.mandoist06-11-2026
- Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- 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
