After an entertaining Sunshine season, the action continues in the United States. The draw has been revealed for the Credit One WTA Charleston Open, which began on 29 March. However, the main draw kicks off on Monday, 31 March at the newly renovated Credit One Stadium in Charleston. The main arena has a capacity of over 10,000 people.

The 2025 Charleston Open is being held between Saturday 29 March and Sunday 6 April. This will be the 53rd edition of the historic event – it is the oldest professional all-women competition in the USA. It is a WTA-500 which kicks off the clay court season on the women’s circuit.

Nine out of the world’s Top-20 WTA players are headed to South Carolina for the Charleston Open in 2025 – hoping to get their hands on the coveted trophy. Danielle Collins is the current defending champion, having thrashed Daria Kasatkina 6-2 6-1 in the 2024 final. In the women’s doubles section, American pair of Sloane Stephens and Ashlyn Krueger won the trophy last year.

WTA Charleston Open 2025 Draw

The road to Roland Garros starts on the iconic green clay of Charleston, and it will be Miami Open runner-up Jessica Pegula who headlines the draw as the top seed. She has received a bye in Round-1, and will face either Heather Watson or Iryna Shymanovich in the Round of 32. A potential blockbuster match against Jelena Ostapenko or trophy-holder Danielle Collins awaits in the quarterfinal stage. Zheng Qinwen and Diana Shnaider are also in the same half of the draw.

Reigning Australian Open winner Madison Keys is the second seed at this year’s Charleston Open. Getting a ticket to Round-2, she is expected to take on either Elisabetta Cocciaretto or Caroline Dolehide. Anna Kalinskaya and Daria Kasatkina could come face-to-face with her in the rounds to follow, before a possible run-in with one of her fellow American stars in the form of Emma Navarro or Amanda Anisimova.
