The day after the WTA Finals end at Indian Wells, the season carries on on red clay in Chile. The LP Open by IND in Colina, Chile, is a WTA 125 event that has produced a teenage champion, a three-hour final decided on a fifth championship point and, last year, a top-100 debut.
This guide covers the 2026 dates, the draw, the ranking points on offer, who can enter in the off-season and every champion since the event joined the WTA 125 tier in 2022.

Dates and Draw for 2026
The main draw runs from Monday 16 to Sunday 22 November, starting the day after the WTA Finals end at Indian Wells. It is the only WTA event of the week, which the WTA calendar numbers as week 46.
The singles main draw has 32 players. In 2025 the qualifying draw had eight players playing a single round, so four qualifiers reached the main draw, and after the top seed withdrew, a lucky loser, Valeriya Strakhova, entered the main draw. The 2026 qualifying draw size has not been published.
The doubles draw size for 2026 is unclear. [UNVERIFIED: the WTA’s 2026 tournament page lists a doubles draw of 8, while the WTA pages for 2022 to 2025 and the 2025 doubles draw sheet show 16. Confirm against the 2026 doubles draw sheet.] The difference matters for points: in a 16-team draw, first-round losers collect a point; in an eight-team draw, the quarterfinalists do.
Ranking Points and Prize Money
Colina offers the standard points for a WTA 125 event with a 32-player main draw.
| Round | Singles points | 2025 singles prize money |
|---|---|---|
| Winner | 125 | $15,500 |
| Finalist | 81 | $8,500 |
| Semifinalist | 49 | $5,750 |
| Quarterfinalist | 27 | $4,000 |
| Round of 16 | 15 | $2,000 |
| Round of 32 | 1 | $1,250 |
| Qualifier | 6 | — |

Doubles champions also earn 125 points, finalists 81 and semifinalists 49.
The points count toward the WTA ranking but not the Race. The rulebook excludes WTA 125 and ITF results from a player’s singles Race points, which is why a title here does nothing for a Race to the WTA Finals campaign.
Who Can Enter in the Off Season
Colina falls inside what the WTA rulebook calls the Off Season, weeks 45 to 52, and different entry rules apply. Players ranked in the top 20 may not play a WTA 125 event in those weeks. Up to four players ranked 21 to 50 may receive WTA-approved wild cards in singles and doubles.
An Off Season WTA 125 event can also offer two WTA 125 Exemption Wild Cards on top of its four regular main-draw singles wild cards. The qualifying draw has two wild cards and the doubles draw one. Our tennis off-season explainer sets out how the weeks after the Finals work on both tours.
Who Is Entered
The WTA’s provisional player list, which is subject to change, includes Linette, Bronzetti, Podoroska, Masarova, Zidansek and Lepchenko. Samson, a semifinalist here last year at 17, is also on it. Seeds will be set from the rankings when the draw is made.
The Finals Since 2022
Mayar Sherif won the first WTA 125 edition in 2022 as the top seed, beating Kateryna Baindl 3-6, 7-6(3), 7-5 in a final that lasted just over three hours and took five championship points to finish. It was her third WTA 125 title of the season. She has been part of almost every edition since: as top seed in 2023, as doubles champion in 2024 and as second seed in 2025.
In 2023 Sara Bejlek, a 17-year-old left-hander ranked No. 194 and unseeded, won her first WTA 125 title, beating Diane Parry 6-2, 6-1 in 71 minutes. Nina Stojanovic, ranked No. 432, came from a set down to beat Maria Lourdes Carle in the 2024 final.
Last year Oleksandra Oliynykova, the fifth seed, won without dropping a set and beat Leolia Jeanjean 7-5, 6-1 in the final. The title lifted her from No. 109 to No. 95, her top-100 debut. Jeanjean reached both finals that week.
| Year | Singles final | Doubles final |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Oleksandra Oliynykova d. Leolia Jeanjean 7-5, 6-1 | Carle / Sorribes Tormo d. Jeanjean / Strakhova 6-2, 6-4 |
| 2024 | Nina Stojanovic d. Maria Lourdes Carle 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 | Sherif / Stojanovic d. Jeanjean / Mladenovic, walkover |
| 2023 | Sara Bejlek d. Diane Parry 6-2, 6-1 | Lohoff / Perrin d. Perez Alarcon / Seguel 7-6(4), 6-2 |
