You had to be an early bird if you wanted to catch Bianca Andreescu taking on No. 6 seed Danielle Collins on Sunday in Madrid.
They were first up on the main stadium – which meant 5 a.m. EDT (2 a.m. on the west coast if you were keen on staying up Saturday night).
And it was over so quickly it’s not like you could get up for the second set. Andreescu breezed over an absent Collins.
Leylah Fernandez vs Jil Teichmann was at a more reasonable hour. But it didn’t work out well for Fernandez, who was eliminated in straight sets.
