A WTA 250 event, the tournament will feature 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens as the top seed. Joining the American are a pair of players who made breakthroughs at the 2023 Australian Open, with Poland's Magda Linette reaching the semifinals and Croatia's Donna Vekic making the quarterfinals.
The always-dangerous Camila Giorgi is scheduled to compete, as well as doubles World No.1 Katerina Siniakova. American Alison Riske will be hoping to bounce back after a disappointing start to the season, alongside the German duo of Jule Niemeier and Tatjana Maria.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
