What Happened in the 2023 Edition of the WTA Seoul Open?
Jessica Pegula entered the tournament as a wild-card player and was immediately awarded the top seeding in the tournament. She went on to beat Yuan Yue in the final in straight sets to clinch the title.
The only time that Pegula was tested was in the quarterfinals when fellow American Claire Liu pushed her to the third set but she won it 6-0 in the final set.
The only other seeded player to make it to the quarterfinals was Marie Bouzkova but she was also dumped out by Yuan in two tough sets to leave Pegula the only seed in the semis.
