–
For once, there’s no complaining about the amount of playing opportunities for the women as there is Rome – plus two WTA 125s, one in Paris and the other in Germany.
Rebecca Marino chose Karlsruhe, Germany for her second tournament of the clay-court season.
Meanwhile, in Rome, Andreescu and Raducanu prepared to slug it out. But in the end, it was a self-TKO as Raducanu retired.
