Tennis players Jessica Pegula and Ons Jabeur have confirmed their participation in the WTA 500 Charleston Open, which will take place on the clay courts of Daniel Island in North Carolina from March 30 to April 7. The tournament will start immediately after the Miami Open and marks the beginning of the clay season.
Jabeur, the Tunisian player, is the defending champion, having defeated Belinda Bencic in the final with a score of 7-6, 6-4. This victory served as revenge for the 2022 final when the same players faced each other, but Bencic emerged victorious in a thrilling match that ended 6-1, 5-7, 6-4 in favor of the Swiss player.
26-years-old Belinda Bencic, had confirmed her presence in the tournament in September 2023, but a few weeks ago, she announced that she is pregnant. As a result, she will not be participating in the tournament and is presumed to be absent for the entire 2024 season. Despite this, the tournament is already taking shape with a star-studded main draw, featuring two other former champions: Madison Keys (2019) and Sloane Stephens (2016), in addition to world No. 9 Maria Sakkari.
"We have an incredible field of tennis champions already committed to play in Charleston next year and ticket sales and demand for 2024 continue to outperform previous records,” said Bob Moran, Tournament Director of the Credit One Charleston Open
This is one of the tournaments that traditionally kicks off the clay season and has been played since the beginning of the Open Era in 1973. The Charleston Open has Chris Evert as its all-time winner, having claimed the trophy 8 times between 1974 and 1985.
Other multi-time champions in Charleston include Martina Navratilova (4 titles), Steffi Graf (4 titles), Serena Williams (3 titles), Tracy Austin (2 titles), Gabriela Sabatini (2 titles), Justine Henin (2 titles), and Martina Hingis (2 titles).
