Danielle Collins to headline inaugural WTA event in Texas next year
WTAWednesday, 28 September 2022 at 02:30
The WTA will be looking to expand it's influence in 2023, as it will touch down in Texas for a brand new tournament next year.
The city of Texas will play host to the ATX Open, a WTA 250 event that will run from February 27-March 5, 2023. Texas will have some experience in hosting WTA events, as it is the venue for the prestigious WTA Finals next month.
Although the entry list is yet to be announced, American Danielle Collins has been selected to headline the event. Collins had a great start to the 2022 season, reaching the Australian Open final before falling to an in-form Ashleigh Barty. This led to the 28-year old breaking into the Top 10 and becoming the American No.1 female player.
Although the Florida native has fallen to No.16 in the WTA rankings, she is still a force to be reckoned with on the tennis court. With other players yet to be announced, Collins star power should tip the scales in favor of the ATX Open being an exciting event.

- 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.
