Leylah Fernandez wins WTA 500 Singapore Open

Overview

The 2026 WTA 500 Singapore Open has concluded with Leylah Fernandez claiming the title. Fernandez defeated Australia’s Talia Gibson in the final with a score of 7-5, 6-0 in a match lasting one hour and 38 minutes.

This victory marks the sixth career title for the Canadian player, following her previous successes in Washington and Osaka in 2025. Her tournament run included a notable victory over top seed Mirra Andreeva during the quarterfinals and a semifinal comeback against Maja Chwalińska, whom she defeated 1-6, 6-4, 6-2.

Following this championship, Fernandez is projected to rise to the number 26 position in the world rankings. Gibson, ranked 63rd at the time, remained competitive through the first set before Fernandez dominated the second.

The tournament was previously marked by medical controversy involving Tatiana Prozorova, who withdrew from her semifinal against Gibson following a concussion diagnosis. Prozorova had criticized the WTA’s medical protocols, claiming she was ‘unable to make decisions about her own health and life’ due to pressure from medical staff. The WTA maintained that player safety remains their ‘highest priority’ and that concussion protocols mandate such withdrawals.
