–

MIAMI, Fla. – After the Sunshine Double, there’s a bit of a rest and reload period before the clay-court season.

But Monte Carlo is just a week away. And Leylah Fernandez, who was out early in Miami, is taking to the Har-Tru – for just a week – before going back to the hard courts indoors for Billie Jean King Cup in Vancouver.

And Félix Auger-Aliassime took a late wild card into the ATP 250 in Marrakech.

There is plenty of action out on the ITF circuit, too.
