I think it's a mistake. I looked up Mya Bui (also listed as M) on some Internet articles and video. I would bet the farm she is a biological female.
It's an interesting question about why gender is specified. Are they now allowing biological males to enter women's tennis tournaments?
The sex is listed because often for tournaments like this, there’s a men’s bracket and a women’s bracket, so the software form has a place for it. In past years, you’d see the player entry list for the tournament with a whole bunch of names, both men and women. But yes, there are no self-identified males competing this weekend. Occam’s Razor suggests this was just a data entry error.
