Aryna Sabalenka began her title defense with a win. She defeated Camila Osorio in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4. This victory marks the start of her bid to achieve a rare feat.

Carlos Alcaraz is also competing, his first singles match since April due to injury. His health may make him a strong contender, given the absence of other top players.
