2023 Abu Dhabi Open WTA Draw including Kasatkina, Bencic, Badosa and Rybakina

The Abu Dhabi Open will take place between February 6-12, 2023 as WTA action returns to the Middle East also featuring tournaments in Doha and Dubai in the coming weeks and the first of which features many big names.

Headlined by Daria Kasatkina. Also involved includes Belinda Bencic, Elena Rybakina in her first action since Australian Open, Jelena Ostapenko who faces Danielle Collins in a match likely not to be short on drama, Karolina Pliskova who faces Garbine Muguruza.

As well as the return from injury for Paula Badosa, she faces Liudmila Samsonova. Speaking of injury, Bianca Andreescu is slated to play in Abu Dhabi after being involved in Hua Hin but a right shoulder injury may prevent that.

She will face a qualifier which could still be Leylah Fernandez who has to play qualifying this week.
