Top Filipina Alex Eala, seeded second and ranked No. 49, faces Russia’s Alina Charaeva in the round of 32 at 7 p.m. on center court. This marks the first time the Philippines hosts a WTA 125 tournament, featuring several local players amid high anticipation.
World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz has pulled out of the 2026 ABN AMRO Open after winning the Australian Open, leaving a strong field led by Alexander Zverev and Alex de Minaur. The ATP 500 tournament, set for February 9-15 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, will feature top players including Felix Auger-Aliassime and Daniil Medvedev. Despite the absence, seven top-20 ranked players are confirmed to compete.
