–

There is only one seed in the Ostava semifinals Saturday.

But there are three Grand Slam champions out of the four players still alive.

Which is… well, it’s the WTA.

In Monastir, the air will have gone out of the balloon with the loss of top seed and local hero Ons Jabeur Friday night.

We’ll see what it looks like without her.

In San Diego (where Open Court should be hitting site in the morning), two Canadians are in the qualifying – Carol Zhao and Rebecca Marino.
