The 2023 edition of the Birmingham Classic will be the 41st edition of the event running from June 13th to 19th with Barbora Krejcikova, Beatriz Haddad Maia and others attending.
The Birmingham Classic is one of the events that players use to prepare for the 3rd grand slam of the year - Wimbledon. It's a grass event and belongs to the WTA 250 category. Last year's champion was Haddad Maia and she's back this year to try and defend her trophy. She actually won the event both in singles and doubles.
Besides Haddad Maia, we'll also see some other great players like Krejcikova, Ostapenko, Keys and others. It's a pretty solid entry list, a bit better than last year with the inclusion of Russian players into the draw. Potapova is one of those that couldn't play last year but this year she's back and Russian will be able to play at Wimbledon as well. Check out the full entry list below.
