New world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka has decided not to play the full event, so this could be a great opportunity for new names to get a lot of attention at this level.
Last year’s runner-up Maria Sakkari will be the runner-up of the tournament, which will also include Grand Slam champions Victoria Azarenka, Jelena Ostapenko, Sloane Stevens and Sofia Kenin.
Wild cards were given to the returning Ajla Tomljanovic, Eugenie Bouchard and 16-year-old Mexican Lia Fernandez.

Last year’s winners of the Guadalajara Open
Following the success of hosting the WTA Finals, Guadalajara has been given the opportunity to host the prestigious WTA 1000 event for the first time.
Jessica Pegula won the Guadalajara Open for the first time at this level, which was also her first WTA 1000 title, but the American will not be there to defend her title in 2023.
She achieved this by defeating the aforementioned Maria Sakkari 6-2 6-3. The Greek player aims to take another step forward this year.
The doubles title was won by Storm Hunter and Luisa Stefani, defeating the pair of Beatrice Haddad Maia and Anna Danilina.
