–

The top two seeds at the WTA 125 in Iasi, Romania (both Romanians) have a good shot at making it an all-Romanian final there.

In Budapest and Palermo, a lot of surprises throughout the week – not unusual in this little “gap” space on clay, before the summer hard-court season.

The winner of Kateryna Baindl and Fanny Stollar, who got just two games in on Friday, will have to come back and play a semifinal against Claire Liu in Budapest.

(Palermo and Budapest six hours ahead of EDT; Iasi is seven hours ahead)
