What Happened in the 2023 Edition of the WTA Pan Pacific Open?
Veronika Kudermetova, who had come into the tournament as the eighth seeded player, turned out to be a surprise winner of this edition of the tournament. Why surprise? Because there were the likes of Iga Swiatek, Jessica Pegula and Maria Sakkari, who were all a part of the event too.
In a straightforward final win, Kudermetova stunned the second seeded Jessica Pegula 7-5, 6-1 to lift the trophy.
It also turned out to be a very deserving victory because it was Kudermetova who ended the top seeded Swiatek’s stay in the tournament as she defeated her in the quarterfinals. She then edge out Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova while Pegula overcame Maria Sakkari to set up the final.
