The 2023 Libema Open will be the 32nd edition of the event with Veronika Kudermetova serving as the top seed at the event which will see Venus Williams return to tennis as well.
Venus Williams is back to tennis as the American is making a long-awaited return to tennis at the WTA event in Den Bosch. Williams got a wild card entry into the event and she'll face another wild card Naef in the opening round. Should she win her match the American might face fellow Americans Katie Volynets or Caty McNally.
The top seed at the event is Veronika Kudermetova and she's in the quarter of Williams so if the American legend makes her way into the 3rd round we might see her face Kudermetova. Kudermetova herself begins her campaign against a tricky opponent in Alison Riske-Amritraj. The second seed at the event is fellow Russian Samsonova and she will begin her journey against a qualifier. Her quarter of the draw might see her face Sasnovich in the 3rd round.
A couple of other interesting matchups include Azarenka against a qualifier, Andreescu against a qualifier, defending champion Alexandrova who is unseeded against Rodina as well as the sister of Veronika Kudermetova, Polina Kudermetova. She will face Yuan from China. Check out the full draw below.
