–

The tournaments in Washington, D.C. (a bit bedraggled by rain) and San Jose are at the semifinal stage.

Although a lot of the higher seeds didn’t get that far and are on their way to Toronto.

In Toronto, several of the young juniors with wild cards into the qualifying tried their luck. And one, Gabriel Diallo, was successful in his debut.

But Daria Savilla and Liudmila Samsonova, who are in the Toronto qualifying draw, were detained in D.C. Unfortunately for them, that meant they couldn’t play at all next week.
