L&T Mumbai Open WTA 125K 2026: Dates, Venue, Players and What to Expect

The L&T Mumbai Open WTA 125K Series is set to return for its fifth edition in 2026, continuing its rise as one of India's leading women's tennis tournaments. The event will be hosted at the Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association (MSLTA) in Mumbai, with the Qualifying Rounds scheduled for January 30, 31 and February 1, followed by the Main Draw from February 2 to 8.

The tournament is expected to feature a strong international field across both singles and doubles, with several established names set to compete in Mumbai.

The 2026 singles entry list includes New Zealand's Lulu Sun, Latvia's Darja Semenistaja, Australia's Kimberly Birrell, Belgium's Hanne Vandewinkel and Chinese Taipei's Joanna Garland. Also returning to the tournament are Thailand's

Mananchaya Sawangkaew, the runner-up from the previous edition, and France's Leolia Jeajean.

Staying true to its long-standing commitment to the development of Indian tennis, the L&T Mumbai Open continues to provide Indian players with valuable exposure to high-level international competition. With a high cut-off for direct entries, Indian players will feature in the main draw through wild cards.

The tournament's role as a launchpad for emerging Indian talent was underlined in the last edition, when 16-year-old Maaya Rajeswaran grabbed headlines with a breakthrough run to the semi-finals, defeating higher-ranked international opponents along the way. The event also played an important role in India's preparations for the Billie Jean King Cup Asia-Oceania Group I, offering match practice to players such as Sahaja Yamalapalli, Shrivalli Bhamidipaty, Ankita Raina and Prarthana Thombare against top-tier opposition.

Those performances later contributed to India qualifying for the next stage of the competition, reinforcing the L&T Mumbai Open's importance as a key stepping stone in the national team's pathway.

Speaking ahead of the tournament, Sunder Iyer, Honorary Secretary of the MSLTA, said: "The L&T Mumbai Open has steadily grown into a marquee event on the Indian tennis calendar. As we return for the fifth edition, we are pleased to host a highly competitive WTA 125K Series event while continuing to provide Indian players with a platform to compete against top international talent. We look forward to welcoming players and fans for an exciting week of world-class tennis in Mumbai. "
