–
One 500 on hard courts in San Jose, a 250 on clay in Romania and a 125K in Concord, Mass. are on tap this week on the WTA Tour.
Tonight in San Jose, young Brit Emma Raducanu begins her life under the spotlight after her nice run at Wimbledon. Managed by the company that runs the tournament, she gets a wild card and a Monday night prime-time slot.
It didn’t go particularly well, so the young prospect is one and done.
