The $251,750 subsidized tournament belonged to the WTA 250 tournament.[1] The world No. 2, Ons Jabeur from Tunisia, became the highest seeded singles player.[2] As the last direct participant in the singles game, the 90th ranked player Kamilla Rakhimova entered.[3]

The Jasmin Open Monastir was added to the 40th week of the season in May 2022, however, it was one of the six tournaments that were given single-year WTA 250 licenses in September and October 2022 due to the cancellation of tournaments in China due to Peng Shuai sexual assault and disappearance controversy, who in November 2021 accused former Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of sexual violence, and as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] As a result of Russian invasion of Ukraine at the end of February 2022, the ATP, WTA and ITF tennis governing bodies of the Grand Slam tournaments decided that Russian and Belarusian tennis players could continue to compete on the circuits,[5] but not under the flags of Russia and Belarus until further notice.

Belgian Elise Mertens won her seventh singles title on the WTA Tour.[6] The doubles was dominated by the Czech Kateřina Siniaková and the French Kristina Mladenovic, who fulfilled the role of favorites and turned their first joint participation in doubles competitions into a trophy.
