–

Just like the ATP, the women are back to reality this week.

Except that both the available tournaments at the WTA level are on red clay. And you have to stay in Europe to play them.

It’s also good to see former top-25 singles player (and No. 1 doubles player) Timea Babos back at the WTA level.
