–
No. 4 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova was the top-ranked player remaining in the Cleveland singles.
And after Friday’s semifinals, she still is, and a big favorite against lucky loser Sara Sorribes Tormo in Saturday’s final.
And in doubles, the Cana-Canada-Kiwi duo of Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe were looking for a spot in the finals, in only their third tournament together. They fell JUST short.
