2022 Guadalajara Open Akron

In 2022, the WTA calendar was still being affected by the cancellation of women's professional tennis tournaments in China and Russia due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and concerns about the security and well-being of tennis player Peng Shuai after her allegations of sexual assault against Chinese Communist Party leader Zhang Gaoli. As a result, a WTA 1000 tournament was announced to be held in Guadalajara to compensate for it.^[1][2] This was one of the biggest women's tournaments ever hosted by Mexico, held on outdoor hard courts in October 2022.^{[citation needed]}
