text: # 2023 Internationaux de Strasbourg – Singles
  
  Elina Svitolina defeated Anna Blinkova in the final, 6–2, 6–3 to win the singles tennis title at the 2023 Internationaux de Strasbourg. It was her 17th WTA Tour singles title, and her second Strasbourg title. Svitolina, ranked world No. 508, earned her first title in her return from a 14-month maternity leave hiatus, and became the fourth-lowest ranked WTA titleholder while also joining reigning champion Angelique Kerber, Samantha Stosur, Maria Sharapova, and Steffi Graf as the fifth wildcard to become tournament champion.
  
  Kerber was on maternity leave after having her first child in February 2023 and did not return to compete.
