The WTA DIRECTV Open opens on Main Court in Sopo, Colombia, with Irene Burillo and Yuliana Lizarazo scheduled for Round 1 on Monday at 2:30 PM EST. The court assignment places both players in the same session, and the start time will shape the match rhythm for the opening round. A win in Round 1 keeps a player in the main draw, while defeat sends them home before the week's later rounds. The South American venue and early‑hour scheduling give the match a clear opening‑round stakes profile.
