Wta tennis returns to North Africa for the second time this season as the second edition of the Tunisia Open hosts 32 determined women in the coastal city of Monastir.
The draw for the event has just been released. The buzz that surrounded the build-up has evaporated, as the home crowd favourite Ons Jabeur will not compete at the tournament. Therefore, the top seed will be Italy's Jasmine Paolini .
But there is still a lot to be excited about this year's field as we get to see the unheralded players on the Itf Tour who have featured sporadically on the main tour get a bite of Tour-level action. This will be a chance to collect a decent paycheck with a slight increase in prize money in addition to vying for a Wta title.

The Wta Tour makes its second stop on the African continent this season for the second edition of the Tunisia Open .
The Wta 250 event will run from October 16th through 22nd featuring a 32-player singles field. It will be contested on the outdoor hard courts at Skanes Family Hotel Monastir in Tunisia and the initial entry list is out.
Elise Mertens became the inaugural champion last year when she defeated Alize Cornet in the final. Tunisian fans braced themselves for a home coronation, but the top seed Ons Jabeur was stunned in the quarterfinals stage.
Jabeur won't return this year , presumably due to scheduling issues, as she is in the running for a spot in the Wta Finals , held just a week after the Tunisian Open. But there is a hale and hearty group of 32 players in the singles draw.

Taylor Fritz was on the cusp of one of the most improbable feats in tennis history on Thursday when he won 20 straight points in his match against Dusan Lajovic at the Cincinnati Masters .
The World No. 9 on the Atp Tour was a game away from winning a golden set, which basically means the equivalent of winning a whole set without losing a single point. To win a golden set in tennis, a player needs to win 24 consecutive points to win the set 6-0.
Fritz faced a potential banana peel against Dusan Lajovic in the Round of 16. The Serbian star was enjoying one of his best runs on hard courts this season and was coming off one of the best wins of his career in the previous round when he upset Toronto champion Jannik Sinner in straight sets . But he was not in good physical health to challenge Fritz.

Held from July 31st to August 6th, the 2023 Prague Open is probably the most prestigious Wta tournament held in the Czech Republic, but this year also the most controversial.
As a Wta 250 tournament in the capital of the Czech Republic, the event managed to put together quite a solid entry list , but that started falling apart when the projected top seed Barbora Krejcikova withdrew from the tournament .
The tournament suffered yet another blow when the country prevented Russian and Belarusian athletes from competing , something that also happened in Poland only a week ago ahead of the 2023 Poland Open in Warsaw .
So the draw for the tournament had to be made without the third-highest-ranked Czech player in the Wta Rankings , but also without Russian and Belarusian players that wanted to compete in the Czech capital.

As the 2023 Bogota Open approaches, the Wta Entry List reveals a compelling mix of established players and rising stars eager to make their mark.
The tournament, held at the Centro de Alto Rendimiento in Colombia's capital, is expected to provide a great opportunity to lower-ranked players to showcase their qualities as there's a simultaneously played Wta 500 event in Charleston with a start-studded entry list.
Last year, Tatjana Maria lifted the trophy at the Bogota Open and she will defend her title in 2023. The home crowd favourite, Camila Osorio reached the semifinals and she was also supposed to compete this year, but she announced her withdrawal as she's struggling with an injury.
This year's competition sees the likes of Elise Mertens, Dayana Yastremska, and Nadia Podoroska sharing the stage with talented up-and-comers, setting the stage for some gripping matches.
Among the possible challengers, Kateryna Baindl is set to make her presence felt.
