–

After a bit of a quiet week, the Tours return with a WTA 500 in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

Notably, that event stepped up a year ago when there were literally no other tournaments on the calendar.

There is also a 125K in Columbus, Ohio, where Rebecca Marino is getting back into action. As is Vasek Pospisil in Metz.

Brayden Schnur qualified in Metz, while Alexis Galarneau got in as a lucky loser in Columbus.

On the men’s side, after a Davis Cup week, the ATP Tour returns in Metz, France and at a new event in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.
