2026 Turk Telekom Ankara Open Entry List Storylines
Sierra leads the field: Solana Sierra owns the top ranking on the initial Ankara list and gives the tournament a rising South American presence at the top of the draw.
Blinkova brings Tour-level experience: Anna Blinkova is one of the most recognizable names in the main draw and could be among the players to beat if she holds her place.
Boisson is buried down the list: Loïs Boisson sits at No. 237, making her one of the more intriguing lower-ranked names in the field.
Andreescu starts in qualifying: Bianca Andreescu is currently listed in qualifying at No. 183. Her presence immediately draws far more attention than a typical WTA 125 event.
Aksu carries the Turkish flag: Ayla Aksu is directly into the main draw, while Berfu Cengiz is among the Turkish players starting in qualifying.
The entry list remains subject to withdrawals and changes before the tournament begins.
