The Wrexham Open will return to the north Wales city next year following the "incredible success" of this year's tournament, which was won by Wales' Mimi Xu.
The ITF World Tennis Tour event, the biggest women's tennis tournament to be played in the UK this year outside of the grass court season, was held in north Wales for the first time in October.
The 2026 Wrexham Open will be held between 18-25 October at Wrexham Tennis & Padel Centre.
Xu secured the biggest victory of her career so far by beating Mika Stojsavljevic to win the 2025 Lexus Wrexham Open last month.
The 18-year-old from Swansea also won the doubles title with Ella McDonald.
"It has quickly become established in the city with the local community showing fantastic enthusiasm for the tournament and the other events we held alongside it during a busy and enjoyable week," tournament promoter Dave Courteen said.
"We saw higher attendances than the tournament has ever attracted before, and that helped make it an incredible success."
