Former world no. 1 Garbine Muguruza has been granted a wild-card entry into the 2023 Adelaide International 1 event.
The rankings of the Spanish player have dropped to No. 55 following a difficult 2022 season. Muguruza, a two-time Grand Slam champion, has struggled with form last year, leading to a decline in her rankings. As a result, she was unable to directly qualify for the 2023 Adelaide International 1, which is one of the first events on the WTA Tour.
However, the tournament organizers have recognized Muguruza's past achievements and have offered her a wild-card spot in the main draw.
This will give her the opportunity to compete against some of the top players in the world and potentially work her way back up the rankings. She will be looking to use the tournament as a springboard for the rest of the season.
The Adelaide International 1 will feature a strong field, with many of the top players in the world set to participate. Bianca Andreescu, Ons Jabeur, Aryna Sabalenka, Veronika Kudermerova and Elena Rybakina are just some of the names on the list.
The granting of a wild card entry to Muguruza is a great opportunity for her to get back on track and return to the top of the WTA Tour. It will be exciting to see how she performs at the Adelaide International 1 and what the future holds for her.
