In the end, somewhat like the men, the qualifying on the women’s side didn’t offer any major, major surprises in terms of who was promoted into the main draw.
Russia’s Varvara Gracheva completed a pretty crazy three days in which she reached the final of the singles in Austin, rushed to Indian Wells to play her first round of qualifying on Monday and finished it up with a marathon three setter on Tuesday to make the main draw.
