Bianca Andreescu, the world's 43rd-ranked player, has been awarded a wildcard for the 2023 Thailand Open.
The tournament, which is set to take place in Hua Hun, will give Andreescu an opportunity to bounce back from a disappointing start to the season. At the WTA 500 event in Adelaide, Andreescu lost in the second round to Veronika Kudermetova. She also suffered a defeat in a rain-delayed match in the second round of the Australian Open against Cristina Bucsa.
Despite these setbacks, Andreescu remains a highly talented player with a bright future ahead of her. She burst onto the scene in 2019 by winning the US Open, becoming the first Canadian to do so in the Open Era.
The 2023 Thailand Open will give Andreescu a chance to regain her form and make a run at the title. This will be a great opportunity for Andreescu to get back to winning ways and make a statement on the tour.
The tournament organizers have made a wise decision by awarding Andreescu the wildcard, as she is sure to attract a lot of attention and excitement to the event.
The 2023 Thailand Open is shaping up to be an exciting tournament with a solid entry list, and Andreescu's participation will only add to the anticipation. In a statement, the tournament said:
"Super-excited to announce that 2019 US Open Champion Bianca Andreescu will be joining us in Hua Hin! The Canadian who has been ranked as high as No.4 in the world has been awarded a Wild Card for the 2023 Thailand Open."
