The WTA 500 Charleston, played on green clay, will offer exciting matchups right after the Miami tournament.

Four Top 10 players will be featured, starting with Jessica Pegula, the No. 1 seed, who recently faced Aryna Sabalenka in the Miami final. She will begin her tournament against Heather Watson or a qualifier.

Following her, Madison Keys holds the No. 2 seed, with a second-round match scheduled against Caroline Dolehide or Elisabetta Cocciaretto. She is in the same quarter of the draw as Daria Kasatkina, the new Australian No. 1, who will face Lauren Davis or a qualifier.

Kasatkina is defending her points from last year’s final, which she lost to Danielle Collins. Collins will face Viktoriya Tomova or Robin Montgomery as she begins her title defense.

Emma Navarro and Amanda Anisimova are also participating, with both players receiving a bye in the first round.

Belinda Bencic, the 2022 winner and 2023 finalist, will play her first-round match against Erika Andreeva, potentially facing Jelena Ostapenko in the next round.

Finally, Qinwen Zheng, ranked No. 9 in the world, will make her debut against Maria Sakkari or Marina Stakusic, ahead of a possible quarterfinal facing Diana Shnaider.
