Jessica Pegula defeated Liudmila Samsonova in the final, 6–1, 6–0 to win the women's singles title at the 2023 Canadian Open. It was her second WTA 1000 title. Due to rain, Samsonova had to play two matches (third round and quarterfinals) on Friday and two matches again (semifinals and final) on Sunday; she only had a two-hour break between the semifinal and final match. Pegula, on the other hand, played one match each day of the tournament from Wednesday through Sunday.[1]
