Elina Svitolina, who is currently in the eighth position in the world, is projected to be the top seed, accompanied by Marta Kostyuk, Naomi Osaka, Diana Shnaider, Iva Jovic, Jasmine Paolini, and Anna Kalinskaya.
Besides them, Madison Keys, Leylah Fernandez, Clara Tauson, Emma Navarro, Anastasia Potapova, and Ann Li will also compete in the tournament.

Until now, the organizers have not announced the list of wildcard recipients even though they have confirmed that Venus Williams will return to the tournament.
Leylah Fernandez came to Washington as the defending champion. The Canadian tennis player won the title last season after defeating Anna Kalinskaya in the final match.
