WTA Draw confirmed for 2023 Guadalajara Open AKRON including Jabeur, Sakkari, Garcia, Keys and Bencic as top seeds

The draw has been confirmed for the 2023 Guadalajara Open AKRON which is set to take place between 17-23 September 2023.
Albeit being a WTA 1000, it has suffered massively with big names deciding to withdraw. Over the past week alone, Iga Swiatek, Jessica Pegula, Elena Rybakina among others have decided to skip this tournament.
This is mainly due to the US Open just taking place. Albeit it is a mandatory WTA 1000, so some players may receive big fines. This means that it is an expanded line-up almost from San Diego Open this week.
Ons Jabeur, Maria Sakkari, Caroline Garcia, Madison Keys and Belinda Bencic are top seeds, with just 13 top 30 players involved.
Beatriz Haddad Maia and Danielle Collins is the pick of the first round action, which begins early next week.

- My money is simply on fatigue. She's not the compact 'muscle-man'-type like perhaps Sabalenka, Swiatek or Sakkari. She's a player desperately longing for some kind of Djokovic rhythm. She should skip lots to win more majors. And the rumour I thought wasn't it Long Covid?MrAndreeva10-05-2024
- If there is some other reason, like exhaustion or self-preservation by not playing in consecutive tourneys, then simply say so. There's no shame in self preservation. Since the WTA obviously does not seriously consider a player's physical and mental stress as they schedule back-to-back majors, it's okay to adhere to such a healthy agenda and admit it. The illness thing is kind of suspect at this point; if only because of the timing pattern.
mandoist10-05-2024 - So, Elena Rybakina has again withdrawn due to illness (in Rome). Fans are concerned if this is truly a gastrointestinal issue. Why the secrecy? Is it truly an illness causing these withdrawals? It may be helpful -- even encouraging -- for others whom also suffer whatever illness is ongoing here to know what she is dealing with; and how. A form of Colitis? Ulcers? What's up? Timing has been last minute. It's a bummer all around.mandoist10-05-2024
- Tennis is ridiculous to maintain the tradition of silence. If they can play in open courts like Rome with all the noise from each court they surely could survive cheering, etc., during play (i.e., a singles match with only a 2 meter fence between them and a men's doubles -- and very loud noise from each side).mandoist10-05-2024
