The 2023 version of the Colsanitas Cup, which starts firmly this Monday, April 3, will be special. This competition will take place for the 30th time, remembering that its pioneering edition was in 1993 and that in the period between that year and the 1997 season it was a Satellite category tournament -now known as the ITF circuit- whose first champion was the Brazilian Sumara Passos.
Nowadays, The WTA 250 in Bogotá is the most important women’s tennis tournament in South America. This is all you need to know about the tournament.
