Ankita Raina enters the main-draw as the lucky loser after top-seeded Ons Jabeur had to withdraw from the tournament because of an injury concern in her elbow. The Indian last played in the main-draw of a WTA event at the 2021 Nottingham Open and has mostly been defeated in the final qualifying rounds.
