The 2023 Morocco Open in Rabat, which has also an interesting and long name - Grand Prix Son Altesse Royale La Princesse Lalla Meryem, is played from May 21st to 27th in Rabat, Morocco.
It's one of a few tournaments that is played on the African continent and in 2023 it features a very interesting mix of youth and experience. The last year's event was won by Martina Trevisan and the Italian is the top seed also in 2023.
