Preview :

World #10 Olivia Fiechter will be the top seed at the 2023 Carol Weymuller Open at the Heights Casino in Brooklyn.

Fiechter, the US #2, made it to the final of the Malaysian Open in November, and she will be aiming to go one better in Brooklyn as the top seed for what would be the biggest title of her career.

The American will receive an opening round bye, before then taking on either England’s Millie Tomlinson or Egypt’s Zeina Mickawy in the last 16. Possible meetings with England’s #8 seed Lucy Turmel and Egypt’s World #14 Salma Hany would come prior to the final, if she was to go that far into the tournament.

England’s Georgina Kennedy, the World #12, is seeded #2 and scheduled to face off against Fiechter in the final, although to get that far she would have to beat fourth seed Sabrina Sobhy, who won their last meeting in Singapore. First, though, Kennedy will take on either Scotland’s Georgia Adderley or Egypt’s Nour Aboulmakarim in the second round, before a possible meeting with sixtyh seed Mariam Metwally.

India’s Joshna Chinappa will make her return to action after more than seven months out. The former World #10 made her last appearance on tour at May’s CIB PSA World Championships in Cairo. She is seeded #7 and will face either Egypt’s Hana Moataz or Latvia’s Ineta Mackevica in the second round.
