As the women’s tennis tour returns to action this week, many of the biggest names will take a well-deserved break. Wimbledon is over, and there won’t be a 500-point event until the DC Open kicks off at the end of this month.
For players who choose to keep playing this week, the WTA has two choices. Players who want to return to clay can head to Romania for the Iași Open.
To the south, in Greece, is the Vanda Pharmaceuticals Athens Open – the only hard-court draw on men’s and women’s tours this week.

Players are competing for a share of the $283,347 purse. Notable names include Denmark’s Clara Tauson and hometown favorite Maria Sakkari, who was the No. 3 women’s player in the WTA as recently as 2022.Â
