–

Rain was not the players’ friend on Monday, as a lot of the schedule was washed out.

That means a jam-packed Tuesday in Cincinnati, with as many as seven matches on any one court.

In the end, the returning Caroline Wozniacki won’t play Elina Svitolina, who withdrew with a foot issue, but lucky loser Varvara Gracheva.
