Evansville, Indiana – July 14, 2023 – The field is set for The 2023 Women’s Hospital Classic in Evansville, Indiana, the first stop in the U.S. Open Wild Card Challenge. The number one seed, Madison Brengle, will be coming to Evansville straight from Wimbledon, where she lost a close second-round match against the 21 seed. Brengle has competed in all four majors, has two Women’s Tennis Association titles and has been ranked as high as 35 in the world. Additionally, former top 20 players Varvara Lepchenko and Sabine Lisicki will be competing in the Evansville tournament which begins Monday, July 17 and runs through Sunday, July 23. Both players reached their highest rankings in 2012 with Lepchenko rising to number 19 in the world and Lisicki a career-high ranking of 12.
