MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

WTA Tour – Monday, Aug. 21, 2023 final results

Four lucky losers in action in Cleveland Monday, as Venus Williams was the latest to withdraw and will not face 16-year-old opponent Mirra Andreeva.

Andreeva barely got through a moonball display from opponent Tamara Korpatsch.

And No. 1 seed Caroline Garcia, in on a wild card was looking for some good news, and got it.

Lucky loser Clara Tauson upset No. 2 seed Barbora Krejcikova, who has not played much of late.
