–

Ons Jabeur, Elena Rybakina, Simona Halep and Anett Kontaveit are the seeds in action in Moscow on Tuesday.

For many of them, it was a pretty quick turnaround and a loooooong trip from Indian Wells all the way to Moscow.

Underreported last week was that Rybakina made the doubles final in the desert with Veronika Kudermetova, even if her singles results weren’t what she would have hoped for.

In Tenerife, No. 1 seed Elina Svitolina couldn’t finish her first-round match, suspended by darkness.
