Charleston Open Top Seeds, Favorites and Preview
World No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka has delivered the tournament a blow with her withdrawal due to an injury she picked up in Miami. The Belarusian joins World No. 1 Iga Swiatek on the sidelines after the Polish star withdrew last week from the Miami Open with an injury she’d picked up in Indian Wells. Therefore, the No. 1 seed tag in Charleston, falls to top-ranked American Jessica Pegula, who is still seeking her first title of the season.
Pegula will front a 56-player draw that includes World No. 5 Ons Jabeur and No. 9 Belinda Bencic, who won the title last year. This triplet features prominently on the WTA odds board, tipped as the top bets to win the title.
As well, rounding out the Top 8 seeds and betting favorites as per the Credit One Charleston Open odds board are Daria Kasatkina, Veronika Kudermetova, Victoria Azarenka, Ekaterina Alexandrova, and Magda Linette.
Elsewhere, Elena Svitolina receives a wild card as she returns to tournament play for the first time since having a baby. Also getting a wild card are Americans Fiona Crawley, Caroline Dolehide, Emma Navarro and Sofia Kenin, one of the three former Grand Slam champions in the draw.
