She lost to Katie Boulter in the first round.{{cite news|last=Brook|first=Benedict|date=6 July 2023|title=Court invasion from Just Stop Oil protest group at Wimbledon|url=https://www.news.com.au/sport/tennis/court-invasion-from-just-stop-oil-protest-group-at-wimbledon/news-story/6c1236d62550b7d5af3547f3317be41c|work=news.com.au|location= |access-date=6 July 2023}} Saville was leading 4–2 in the first set tie-break when a protester invaded the court and threw puzzle pieces and confetti which disrupted play. After both Saville and Boulter helped clean up the mess, play continued with Boulter winning the next five points to win the first set, ahead of a straight-sets victory. Saville later said she was upset by the distraction, stating: "Oh my God, why on my court out of all of them? I'm the worst with being able to refocus.".

Saville then played the Hungarian Open losing to Maria Timofeeva in a tight three sets. Saville then played the German Open in Hamburg where she reached semifinals, after beating the likes of Jasmine Paolini, Tamara Korpatsch and Jule Niemeier as well as other players in the qualifying rounds. Saville fell short to Arantxa Rus in that semifinal.

During the American hardcourt swing, Saville lost in qualifying to Kimberly Birrell at the Canadian Open. She then beat Clervie Ngounoue in round one of the US Open, before losing to top seed Iga Swiatek.

Saville then arrived in China where she played using protected ranking at the 2023 Guangzhou Open and the China Open reaching the second round and at the Ningbo Open. She also qualified for the Hong Kong Open.
