–

It’s … quite the era as three former No. 1 – Karolina Pliskova, Garbiñe Muguruza and Angelique Kerher (in Rabat) have taken wild cards into the tournaments the week before Roland Garros.

As well, Canadian Carol Zhao qualified in Rabat and played No. 3 seed Nuria Parrizas Diaz, who was a qualifier in Rome and lost to Zhao’s countrywoman Bianca Andreescu.

She played some pretty great tennis, but just fell short against a top-50 player.
