The Mérida Open, also known as Mérida Open Akron for sponsorship reasons, is a women's tennis event held in Mérida, Mexico. Mérida Open is part of the WTA Tour and is listed as a WTA 500 tournament as of 2025.[1] The tournament is held at the Yucatán Country Club on outdoor hardcourts.
The first edition took place in February 2023 and was introduced as a WTA 250 tournament as a replacement for Abierto Zapopan.[2][3] In 2025, the tournament was upgraded to a WTA 500 status and moved to a new date in February to fill the vacancy generated by the cancellation of the San Diego Open.[4]
The tournament main sponsor is Akron, a Mexican automotive products company, and has no connection with the city of Akron, Ohio.
