–

The usual limited main-draw schedule on a Stuttgart Monday, with two singles and two doubles.

But one of the doubles features Paula Badosa, Aryna Sabalenka and Ons Jabeur, so that’s fun.

Istanbul was supposed to begin in earnest, along with the final round of qualifying. But weather delays meant they completed the qualies, but weren’t able to get any other matches on.
