It will be the first international women’s tennis tournament to be held in Singapore since WTA finals in 2018 and will take place at the new Kallang Tennis Hub from 27 January to 2 February 2025
Across the two days of qualifying matches (25 and 26 January), and seven days of main-draw play (27 January to 2 February), some of the world’s most talented players will make their mark on centre court at the Kallang Tennis Hub. In all, over 60 matches will be played as the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) players compete for the Singapore title.
Leading the tournament as co-tournament directors are Yazed Osman, Group Head of Events & Placemaking and Place Management at Kallang Alive Sport Management, and Laura Ceccarelli, Chief Operations Officer of APG.
Osman said, “We are thrilled to welcome the return of international women’s tennis with the Singapore Tennis Open which will be hosted in Singapore at the Kallang Tennis Hub from 2025 to 2027. This tournament is an invaluable opportunity for us to deepen Singapore’s affinity with the sport and to build our legacy – a legacy underscored by extensive community engagement programmes, which will be a cornerstone of the event. To further demonstrate our commitment to provide greater accessibility to watch live sport, all fans will enjoy free entry to the qualifying matches.”
Ceccarelli added, “The WTA has had a wonderful history in Singapore, and to be returning with a WTA 250 level event is a dream come true as we are now able to re-engage with the tennis community through a truly accessible event for all. The Kallang Tennis Hub is a new facility, and it is amazing that the first international event will be the Singapore Tennis Open. I have so many special memories of the fantastic tennis fans in Singapore, and I am sure that the players will be looking forward to playing in front of all of you.”
The event logo and tagline have also been revealed as countdown to the tournament begins. Developed by the Official Event Marketing Partner, Havas Play, the Singapore Tennis Open logo embodies the energy and dynamism of tennis through the fluid motion of a tennis ball, seamlessly forming the letter "S", representing not only Singapore but additionally symbolises the swiftness and agility inherent in the sport. The composition captures the city’s identity, merging motion with meaning. The event tagline “Meet, Play, Love” comes together fittingly to represent different aspects of the event while still grounded in the idea of community.
Fans will be treated to an exciting lineup of activities and experiences throughout the tournament. In addition to the Singapore Tennis Open, the Singapore Tennis Association will also be organising a regional competition.
Community activities are set to include:
● School outreach programmes
● Meet & Greet sessions with WTA and Team Singapore players
● Team Singapore Learn to Play
● ActiveSG Tennis Academy
These activities will offer young players a highly coveted opportunity to interact with the sport which will hopefully inspire the next generation of tennis stars.
Tennis fans will enjoy free entry to all the qualifying matches and can secure their seat on centre court when tickets are now on sale. Single-day prices start from $8 for concession tickets, while prices for groups of 4 start from $44. The full information on ticketing is available here.
