The Vero Beach International Tennis Open (VBITO) is just five days away, and tennis fans in Florida—and beyond—have every reason to be buzzing with excitement!

Ben Bryk January 21, 2026

This beloved $75,000 USTA Pro Circuit women's tournament (officially a W75 ITF Women's World Tennis Tour event on outdoor clay) marks its 5th anniversary from January 26 to February 1, 2026, at the beautiful Grand Harbor Golf & Beach Club in Vero Beach. It's one of only a handful of tournaments at this level in the U.S., drawing over 100 top women's pros from more than 30 countries, all vying for crucial WTA ranking points and a share of the prize money.
 
The big headline? Bianca Andreescu, the 2019 US Open champion, is set to compete! The 25-year-old Canadian powerhouse is coming off a strong resurgence, having just claimed her first singles title since that iconic 2019 Grand Slam win—an ITF W35 event in Bradenton, Florida, where she dominated in straight sets in the final (6-2, 7-5 over Vivian Wolff) with minimal setbacks throughout the week. Fresh off that momentum-building victory, Andreescu (currently ranked around the top 225 but climbing) is ready to showcase her explosive game against a competitive field ranked roughly 100–200 in the world.
 
For a quick flashback to what made Bianca a legend: At just 19, ranked World No. 152, she made her main-draw debut at the 2019 US Open and stunned everyone. She powered through the draw, upsetting top seeds, and defeated Serena Williams in the final 6–3, 7–5 to become:
  • The first Canadian to win a Grand Slam singles title
  • The first player born in the 2000s to claim a major
  • The first woman to win the US Open on her main-draw debut
That run remains one of the most electrifying breakthrough stories in modern tennis!
But VBITO isn't just about elite competition—it's a full week of community fun and celebration at the stunning Grand Harbor venue. Highlights include:
  • Kids' Day with free tennis activities alongside the pros
  • A glamorous fashion show
  • An inspiring art exhibit
  • A luxury car showcase featuring highlights from Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Audi
  • Pro-Am matches
  • Wine socials, dinner dance, and the Opening Ceremony on Tuesday, January 27
Expect thrilling on-court action, vibrant energy, and that signature Vero Beach charm. With over 4,600 attendees anticipated in person and global streaming reaching millions, this milestone edition is poised to be unforgettable. Many past participants have gone on to shine at majors like the US Open!
