–
With the fallout from the just completed US Open still in the air, the WTA Tour begins again with two tournaments taking place 16 hours apart.
So you know what that means – a lot of sleepless nights for lovers of women’s tennis.
The field is strong in San Diego, but the top four seeds have a bye because it’s a WTA 500, therefore with a 28-player draw.
(Osaka is 13 hours ahead of ET; San Diego is three hours behind).
