A full slate of qualifying on the women’s side had the only Canadian, Genie Bouchard, up against it in her first round.
She faced No. 13 seed Sara Sorribes Tormo, who could have used a protected ranking to get into the main draw but appears to have decided to get the matches in qualifying.
Sorribes Tormo is a beast on clay, and a top-40 player before she got injured. But not on this day; she clearly was hampered physically and retired at 1-6, 1-4, giving Bouchard a pass to the final round.
