The Vanda Pharmaceuticals Mallorca Women’s Championships presented by ecotrans Group is set to bring some top-class tennis to the island as a prestigious WTA 125 event this October. As tennis legend Gabriela Sabatini has been named the official tournament ambassador, let’s look closer at what we can expect for this tournament.

The Legend as Ambassador
A major highlight of the championships is the involvement of tennis legend Gabriela Sabatini, who has been named the official tournament ambassador. Sabatini, a former world No. 3 and 1990 US Open champion, will bring prestige to the event. As ambassador, she will support the competing athletes, hand over the trophy to the winner and participate in a celebrity padel tournament staged alongside the main competition.
Sabatini emphasized the importance of the WTA 125 level, noting, “WTA 125 tournaments are a great opportunity for young and upcoming players to build their future, and I am excited to see so much talent competing here in Mallorca.”
The organizers also commented that they “…expect a number of celebrities and former tennis icons to attend the tournament”.
