The Argentina Open will be held from February 13–19, 2023, so the South American golden swing is moving to Buenos Aires this week. The top seed in the draw is current US Open champion and World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz. Since suffering an injury at the 2022 Paris Masters, he hasn’t participated in an ATP tournament. The adolescent is about to make a comeback. Lorenzo Musetti and Cameron Norrie, both top-20 competitors, are seeded second and third, respectively. Diego Schwartzman, a fan favourite at home, completes the top four seeds. Dominic Thiem, the 2020 US Open champion, was given a wildcard, while Casper Ruud, the current champion, opted not to play.

The tournament was established for the first time in 1927. It has undergone a few changes over time. It was a part of both the Grand Prix Super Series competition and the Grand Prix tennis circuit for a while. For a few years in between, it was also run as a Challenger event. It is now considered an ATP 250 event and is a regular component of the ATP tour. It is played on outdoor clay courts and has a 28-player draw.
