When the Credit One Charleston Open, the largest women’s-only tennis tournament in North America, returns next month to Credit One Stadium on Daniel Island in Charleston, S.C., the award-winning WTA 500 tournament on green clay not only will include a world-class player field – led by defending champion and current World No. 6 Jessica Pegula along with fellow Americans World No. 4 Amanda Anisimova, World No. 15 Madison Keys and World No. 17 and Charleston native Emma Navarro, as well as 2025 WTA Comeback Player of the Year and World No. 9 Belinda Bencic of Switzerland – there will be plenty of new on-site experiences and programming.
On Friday, the tournament launched its Fan Hub, a central destination for all on-site activities and experiences. Throughout the nine-day event (March 28-April 5), among the off-court experiences that fans can look forward to are: elevated lounges, new local vendors, theme nights and special events, along with several returning favorites including pickleball and padel activities, classic Lowcountry food and beverage offerings, live music presented by local performers and engaging talk shows.
