–

Camila Giorgi, seeded No. 4, looks like a strong favorite to take the Tenerife title, especially after top seed Elina Svitolina lost to Osorio Serrano on Wednesday.

In Moscow, all the players who won looked very efficient and effective in doing so. And Anett Kontaveit remains alive in a bit of a longshot quest to make the WTA Tour Finals.
