Entry List Korea Open WTA 2025 including Iga Swiatek, Amanda Anisimova leading the way

The 2025 Korea Open has been a staple on the WTA Tour for over two decades, and this year's edition will see several high-profile superstars return to compete for the distinguished title.

A WTA 500 event, the Korea Open is a hardcourt tournament that takes place at the Seoul Olympic Park Tennis Center in South Korea. It is scheduled to run from September 15-21, 2025, a week after the US Open.

Featuring 28 singles players and 16 doubles teams, the Korea Open was founded in 2004. However, the tournament officially became a WTA 500 event last year, with Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia defeating Australian Daria Kasatkina in the final to lift the trophy.

Both Haddad Maia and Kasatkina will return at this year's edition, with the former hoping to retain her title after a difficult 2025 season. However, the former finalists will face stiff opposition from some higher-ranked players this year.

Swiatek to headline the field

Polish superstar Iga Swiatek is the top seed at the Korea Open. The reigning Wimbledon champion had not won a title since last year's Roland Garros tournament, but broke her drought at SW19 this summer.

Joining Swiatek in Seoul is the woman she defeated to lift her title at Wimbledon. American Amanda Anisimova shocked fans around the world by reaching the final. Although she lost in decisive fashion to Swiatek, the second seed will hope to gain some vengeance should the duo meet in the final at this year's Korea Open.

The Russian contingent will be well-represented, with Ekaterina Alexandrova, Diana Shnaider and Veronika Kudermetova joining the field. Clara Tauson is also scheduled to compete, and the Danish star will be hoping to put her first round loss at Flushing Meadows behind her.

Americans Sofia Kenin and McCartney Kessler will also be participating at the event, alongside rising Australian star Maya Joint. Below is the list of entrants.
