The 2023 San Diego Open Entry List is confirmed in the first tournament post US Open on the WTA calendar which takes place between September 11 - September 16, 2023 in California.
Also known this year as the Cymbiotika San Diego Open for sponsorship purposes, it was famed previously for having a surfboard instead of a trophy with Iga Swiatek being the defending champion last year in a superb post final photo holding the surfboard.

But who will battle it out for one of the most unique trophies on the WTA Tour? Given it is post US Open and it is now a new date compared to last year, Swiatek has decided not to defend her title.
Also the return to Japan and a WTA 1000 take place in Guadalajara the week of and week after respectively, but still despite that date change, there are still some big names signed up.
Led by Ons Jabeur, the current World No.5. It will also feature Caroline Garcia, Coco Gauff, Maria Sakkari and Belinda Bencic as top seeds.
As well as Madison Keys, Veronika Kudermetova, Victoria Azarenka, Beatriz Haddad Maia, Jelena Ostapenko, Ekaterina Alexandrova, Donna Vekic, Magda Linette, Karolina Pliskova, Anastasia Potapova, Anhelina Kalinina and Elise Mertens.
Albeit for a WTA 500, a stacked field regardless with the 17 players receiving direct entry. There are also scope for two more top twenty players through wildcards, two further wildcards and one special exempt to ascertain a 32 player field.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
