–

Seeds No. 5, No. 6 and No. 8 are on the sked Tuesday in Ostrava.

And that means that Eugenie Bouchard, who qualified for the main draw over the weekend, got a night-match slot against No. 6 seed Belinda Bencic for her main-draw opener.

She absolutely battled her tuchus off. But she fell just short as Bencic took it in three sets, over 2 1/2 hours.

In Monastir, it was the entrance of No. 1 seed Ons Jabeur, who gets an unexpected WTA event in her homeland. It was quite a moment.
