Ons Jabeur and Belinda Bencic were finalists at the last two editions of the Credit One Charleston Open, with the Tunisian winning the title most recently in 2023 and the Swiss taking the crown the year before. Next season, both WTA stars will return to the largest women’s-only tennis tournament in North America, set to take place from March 30 to April 7 on Daniel Island in Charleston, South Carolina.

In April this year, three-time Grand Slam finalist Jabeur defeated defending champion Bencic 7-6(6) 6-4 in a rematch of the 2022 final, where Olympic gold medalist Bencic prevailed 6-1 5-7 6-4.

“It was a rematch to remember,” said Bob Moran, Tournament Director of the Credit One Charleston Open and President of Beemok Sports & Entertainment. “Ons and Belinda are incredible Charleston champions and our fans were in for a treat watching them compete in back-to-back finals. We are excited to have them return to the Lowcountry for a potential third clash in the final next year. They have played extraordinary tennis these past two seasons and we are looking ahead to next April.”
