2023 ASB Classic Auckland WTA Entry List featuring Gauff, Stephens, Fernandez and Raducanu (Last Update - 28-12)

The ASB Classic will return to Auckland in 2023, where it hasn't featured on the WTA Calendar since 2020 due to the Covid pandemic.

A WTA 250 event, the ASB Classic will be without a defending champion as it's last edition in 2020 was won by the now-retired Serena Williams. Nonetheless, the tournament will not be lacking in star-power as American teenage phenom and World No.7 Coco Gauff will be top seed at the event.
