- 2023: Camila Girogi
What Happened in the 2023 Edition of the WTA Merida Open?
In what was the first ever edition of the Merida Open, Camila Giorgi won the title by overcoming another unseeded player and qualifier Rebecca Peterson in the final.
Giorgi shrugged off a poor showing in the second set to clinch the final 7-6 (3), 1-6, 6-2 to grab her fourth career title, the first since the 2021 Canadian Open and her last before her retirement from competitive tennis.
What was impressive about her title win was that the Italian had come into the tournament as an unseeded player and went on to rout three of the seeds on her way to the victory. This included a double-bagelling of the second seeded Sloane Stephens in the quarterfinals.
