Tennis stars Jessica Pegula and Maria Sakkari have been announced as participants at the Guadalajara Open Akron, which will run from September 17-23, 2023.
The organizers of the event released a video on their Instagram page, where Pegula announced she would be returning to defend the title she won at the inaugural edition last year.
Pegula hoping to carry momentum into US Open
The top-ranked American is coming off the biggest win of her career, lifting the Canadian Open title last week. With the US Open beginning in a few weeks, the 29-year old aims to ride her winning streak to New York, and possibly after as the Guadalajara Open kicks off a few weeks later.
Greek star Maria Sakkari has also been confirmed for the event, the World No.8 has been consistent this season, making the final at the Citi Open. However, she is yet to claim a title this year.
